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.

    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.)

    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.

    You don't even know how Windows 10 installs itself, do you?

    Are you a bot?

    It doesn't allow me to change letter of (D:).

    From your website:

    you can not change the drive letter of the drive that the Windows operating system is installed on.

    Is it possible that Windows update created his own (D:) disk space and was installed on it? I don't want to do a clean reinstall, so I hope windows team will come with a solution to transfer (D:) into (C:).

    EDIT: From what I saw, I'm not the only one who got this issue with the new update.
