I have 161gb of innstalled apps on my C drive, but i cant find them

I have tried to clean up my c drive, but i cant find anything to delete. I have deleted every game, launcher, and other stuff that I know what are. Even after that I still have 161gb of installed apps. Almost everything that is left is below 100mb or less. I dont understand how all of those small apps which consists of a few kb adds up to 161gb.

What is the size of your C drive? Have you typed, storage, in the search box and checked what you have used and what is left as available?

Have you looked at your apps to see what you have? Look at your installed apps and be sure to scroll to the bottom and check other items that are listed.

Hi ,

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

It probably wouldn't be the applications themselves, but rather the appdata of these applications. The best way to check this is to use the Treesize program, which is free and with it you can see where this GB is, not remembering anything about windows\system32 and syswow64.

How much storage is listed within your "Recycle Bin"?

Have you run the Windows "Disk Cleanup" app?

Have you used "Settings" within your web-browser to "delete" all the "cached" content that it has downloaded?
