Setting it UpĪfter downloading TreeSize, the next step was to install it. Either way - I highly recommend these guys. That said, they offer a 30-day trial if you want to try out the paid versions of the tool. For my needs, the free version was good enough. It comes in three versions which you can compare on their website - Freeware, and two paid versions. The good news for me, the tool is still maintained and free.

Jam Software TreeSize (Free)ĭoing a quick search for tools here on groovyPost turned up an article Steve wrote back in 2008 on how to create a hard drive utilization report using a tool called TreeSize Free. Windows 10 still continued to function, but apps remained funky. None of the Microsoft built-in utilities were not working either. What was causing this? A look through my Startup programs and Event Viewer yielded no clues. What I was able to archive made no difference, 4 GB of disk space dwindled down to zero bytes in minutes. I accepted the fact that universal apps would eat up some space along with Windows Update.
I moved those too along with taking a close look at my installed apps to see, which ones might be eating up space. The only major files I had accumulated were the 4 GBs of HP drivers in the swsetup folder kept at the root of my drive. I went ahead and performed all the usual tasks such as running disk clean up, following the steps in our Groovypost free up disk space tutorial, and of course, searching manually for any files I might have stashed somewhere on the drive. Resolve 0 Bytes of Free Space Error in Windows 10 using TreeSize The majority of my active files are on OneDrive, which only uses 6 GB of space. I thought, how could this be? I don’t work with large applications or files, if I do watch a video, it’s immediately archived to my external drive old files no longer used are archived to the drive too. It wasn’t until I tried saving to a different partition I came across something weird I didn’t have a single byte of disk space left on my system drive.
The errors were happening a lot when I tried to save screenshots from Snip.
