Hello LTT, 

 

I'm getting really annoyed by the notification that appears that my F folder is full but not showing any files.

to be honest I don't know how it appeared cause I only have 2 disks, one is my SSD which has my OS, other is a storage device with 1 tb.

I don't remember making a new local disk or anything like that, yet I have it and it shows that its full, yet no files

I tried to show any hidden folders in the settings but also nothing. 

 

please help.

it says (OEM partition) so it makes me think that you were not supposed to see this partition in file explorer to begin with but it somehow got "unhidden" 

 

you can hide it again by removing the assigned drive letter

When I right click it, it only says help, nothing else.

Try command line with administrator rights:

mountvol F: /D

Holy crap, this worked. Thank you so much

I'm having the same problem and did everything that was said on here but when i type in 'mountvol F: /D' the next line tells me 'access denied'. I definitely have administrator rights ... any help would be amazing!
