Check what is using your disk space

Checking to see how much disk space programs are taking up is not as simple in Windows 8.x  as it used to be. However, in Windows 8.1 Update it became easier to check the space used by Windows Store apps and by certain personal folders. Here's how.

1. Use the keyboard shortcut Winkey+I to open “Settings”.
2. Click "Change PC settings" at the bottom of the Charms bar.
3. Under PC settings, select “PC and devices”.
4. Select “Disk space”. There may be a pause while Windows calculates how much space is being used.
5. Click or tap “See my app sizes” to get a list with the space used by individual installed apps.
6. To uninstall an app, select it and an uninstall button will appear.

There is also a section “Media and files” that lists the space used by personal folders like Pictures, Documents and Downloads. This is for information only. Actually deleting files has to be done elsewhere, such as from File Explorer.
