Question Where is my storage?

[Tompica123]

Hi, I was wondering where 50 GB of my storage went. I wanted to donwload Forza Horizon 4 and I paused it for a second then it went back to 0%. So out of anger I canceled the installation and now I have 50 GB of storage more than I had before. What should I do?

Install and run either WinDirStat, or WizTree.

Run as Administrator, selecting only the drive in question.
Post a screencap here.

Also, a screencap of your Disk Management window.

What is the destination for stuff that you download?

Have you rebooted since cancelling that download?
I suspect that is just temp space allocated, not actual "consumption".

 

[Tompica123]

Yes, I did. Just after I canceled it.

Hover over each of the squares in the bottom. It will tell you where.
Select one, and it will highlight in the top portion.

I canceled the installation and now I have 50 GB of storage more than I had before.

you mean, "less than I had before"?

Can you be more specific?

"and now I have 50 GB of storage more than I had before. "

50GB more consumed space?
Meaning you 'free space' is 50GB smaller?

Yes
