Windows 10 : Released my hostage hdd space
-
I upgraded to Win10 about a month ago or something. My machine auto-restarted the other day and after an update of Win10 and now I notice that I have tons of more space on my HDD. It looks like Microsoft finally let my hostage HDD space go. Previously I had less than half of my 1TB space left (426GB free). Now I have more than half of it (773GB). Crazy.

WinTen leaves the old OS on the machine for about six (I think) weeks, then it zaps it so you can't go back to spyware free system. :mad: :laugh: :laugh:
Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I think it also had downloaded a copy of Win10 installation which it also kept on my harddrive for that period of time. Kind of terrible.

Windows taketh-away, and Windows giveth, but know the all-seeing eye of Sauron of Redmond is watching you, now.

If it was 20 or even 50GB, I'd agree that it was probably from blowing away the rollback folder; but having a 250GB Windows folder before the upgrade is kinda insane. Makes me wonder if something else was going on.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
