Hi,

I installed the new April update and since then, I’m getting a disk error:

You are running out of disk space on Local Disk (D:).

I see I have 406mb/449mb of used space, but how to fixe that?

I look into the disk, there is nothing! I tried a clean up, but there is nothing to remove.

Thx

Understood. I am too affected by this and used diskpart to remove the drive letter. For me G was assigned.

Right-click Start>Command Prompt(admin)

Type in the following:

diskpart

list volume

select volume 3

Replace 3 with the number of the volume which is assigned a drive letter.

remove letter="G"

Replace G with D

Don't worry, removing a drive letter would not cause any harm to your device.

    I tried this. It tells me "Assigning or removing drive letters on the current boot or pagefile volume is not allowed."

    Edit: Nevermind, mistake on my part. Worked for me.

    Why would I want to remove the drive letter? That doesn't seem to be the problem we need to solve.

    (OK, when I posted this, the rest of the replies were not there. The response makes more sense now.)

    Hi,

    I installed the new April Microsoft update and since then, I’m getting a disk error:

    You are running out of disk space on Local Disk (G:).

    I see I have used 413 mb of 449mb and have 36.7 mb of space left, how to fix that?

    I look into the disk, there is nothing! I tried a clean up, but there is nothing to remove.

    Properties window says File system NTFS.

    If i click format it wants to delete all files , is this safe to do without messing up the pc os , of is there another fix?

    Thanks
