Hello,


I have 225 GB SSD laptop that was originally running Windows 7. When WIndows 10 offered free upgrades, I took advantage of that to upgrade my OS to Windows 10. I don't use my laptop much, but noticed that lately I've been having issues with storage space. I noticed that the "System and Reserve" files were taking up more than 50% of the space on my SSD, which must be a mistake.


I have looked around and do not believe that I am a victim of the log bug (though I can't remember specifically what the Log file is called). My Hibernation files look like they're about 5 GB which I'll probably disable to gain that space back, but ultimately is not the cause of such a ridiculous amount of space being used by System and Reserve. I recently attempted to reset my laptop entirely, but am still running into the same huge sized System and Reserve. Furthermore, my Windows.Old folder is only ~330 KB. Below are images of my storage window, windirstat, tree size, and disk management.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
