Question Why is my HDD so full?

[Newgeye]

I have been trying to clear some space on both my HDD and M.2 SSD and I have noticed that my HDD is very full!

I have attached some screen shots of both my HDD storage and when I have run WinDirStat.

I don't under stand why WinDirStat is saying I have used so little yet windows is saying I have nothing left?

The biggest thing I have on my HDD is BF 2042 which is 86.7 GBs.

Please help!

Also my OS is on M.2 SSD.

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.

Am I okay to just delete all these backups besides the ones I want? Should I use WinDirStat?

Yep.
Admin makes all the difference.

How were those backups created? What software?

It was just standard windows running back ups.

I'm using the backup tool now from windows to remove them properly and managing it!
