Common Windows Storage Hogs
On Windows 10 and 11, storage is frequently consumed by large game installation directories (Steam, Epic Games), OBS video recordings, ISO disk images, and leftover update files in C:\Windows\Temp.
Locating Large Files with DiskShift
- Open DiskShift on your Windows PC.
- Select your C: drive or secondary storage partition.
- Inspect the visual map to locate the largest rectangular blocks.
- Use the file search to filter by size and extension (.mp4, .iso, .exe, .zip).
- Select unwanted files and safely send them to the Windows Recycle Bin.
