SSD only has 224 mb free says I have 50gb of games installed when I dont

[SargentSUcc]

I have had this ssd for a while now, it has a total of 120 gb of space in it and I use it to open applications but I don't install my games on it. For some reason it says that the drive only has 224mb free and that I have 50gb worth of apps and games installed, I know for sure that's not right as I have checked my Steam, Origin, Uplay, Epic, and Bethesda games and they are all installed on one of my other hard drives. I have run things like CCleaner but to no avail, it still says that I have 50gb of games on it. When I click on the Apps and games, it says that the 2 largest files I have are files I don't even own anymore, Dead Space and Adobe Fuse, which combined would only be about 10gb. It doesn't give me the option to delete them anymore either, it just brings up an error message saying windows can't find it. This issue has been bothering me for a long time now and I haven't been able to find a fix, I would really appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks.

You're using the app version of a control panel in Windows 10, bad move. Apps never ever work, use proper program versions like the classic control panel.

 

But your installation is borked, I'd recommend re-installing Windows 10 from scratch and in the future use the classic add and remove programs instead of that whiny little app.

I disagree. the new settings app is fine. use windirstat and see what that tells you about drive usage. then if it really does show that there is no space available, you will be able to find exactly where all the big files are.

The Apps and Games includes lots of stuff other than your games. It can include Windows 10 Apps (like Candy Crush or Microsoft Office). Click on the Apps and Games will give you further details of the breakdown.

 

Also, a side note: Delete your temporary files. You can save up to 16GB according to the report. To delete these temporary files, you might want to use Disk Clean-up.

WinDirStat shows graphically which directories take a lot of space. Easier than checking manually.

eh, didn't read all the posts - already suggested WinDirStat.
