Was trying to download a game, and it said that my second disk was full. I checked my HDD, and it had 93.3 gb left, and I already know Windows 10 takes up 20gb of my HDD. Also my whole HDD is allocated so all of it is being in use. Can anyone explain this?
 
if your main drive is a ssd there two reasons..one windows swap file and ssd wear leveling and disk clean up. with the windows swap file you can turn it off with a ssd. the wear and ssd cleanup you need to run the drive software to see how it set. in real life set your browser to save to your storage drive not to the ssd.
 


Can you show us a screencap of your Disk Management window?
 
Hi there Thekingisbeast,

Do you have two HDDs or two partitions? Make sure that you pick the right download location.
Yeah, a screenshot of Disk Management would be helpful.

Apart from that, you can free up some storage space following this extensive tutorial: http://www.howtogeek.com/125923/7-ways-to-free-up-hard-disk-space-on-windows/
