System & reserved files on a secondary drive?

did you roll back to the official system with a fresh install?

No, I restore a backup made after the last update.

I will try a clean install later and LYK the results

edit:

I think this is just Windows misreporting the location but it bothers me that I can't find the files.

There's no hidden partition on D: so where are they?

Do you know where does Windows stores reserved storage files?

The only Reserved partition on my secondary drives in the MSR, in my case is 128MB instead of the minimum 16MB, just for consistency with the other GPT formatted drives.

My external drives are still formatted as MBR so they don't have any MSR. I don't know where those 14GB you show on the other thread are coming from. My D: drive shows 68.7 BG. Perhaps the space used for Image backups. 🤷‍♂️

What is considered System & reserved space in that Storage usage page?

Hi fg, thanks for being here.

The reserve partition on C: is something entirely different, don't worry about that.

The issue here is why do we have system & reserved files on secondary drives?

I see you have 27.9GB on one drive and a whooping 519GB on another.

AFAIK, secondary drives should not have ANY System & reserved files or Reserved storage files on them, they are already on the C: drive.

Are these duplicates files? is Windows misreporting the location?

I can't find these files on D: drive even though the space is taken.

The ones I'm showing are not on the C: drive they are on D: and external drives too.

What do they consider System & reserved on that screen?

Here they show the 63.3 GB on the D: disk as System restore.

On the external drive it is much bigger, 519 GB, I have no idea how they figure that, I don't have many backups on that drive. 🤷‍♂️

I deleted the old restore points, no idea when they were created. I don't use them on this system.
