On windows 10, the apps & features takes disk space up to 1.5 TB, but all listed app(s) only take about 400MB, where is the left space (more than 1TB) used and how can I free up ?

Hi, Just like the picture shows， I don't think they take up too much storage usage, but some temporary files, or saved pictures, documents and so on may take up a lot. I consider that you could use some tools like Treesize Free or WinDir Statto check. They'll show you what's taking up your disk capacity. Then you could delete those useless files. Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful. Best Regards, Carl

Kindly go through the following Microsoft reference article: Free up drive space in Windows 10

Treesize Free, this tool listed all the files that File Explorer not showing. It's the SQL SERVER LOGS, that takes 1TB storage.
Now I can delete them from the software UI.
Thanks for your advice, really helpful!

treesize was real useful .In my case I found the issue with data file.Even though I had deleted schemas from the studio ,all of them were still holding all the space in data.Deleted all of them through cmd

Treesize Free also worked wonders for me. I installed Android Studio in 2019 and followed the instructions for uninstalling it in 2021, but Treesize Free showed me that the Android SDK folder was taking up over 60GB of C drive space - it hadn't been properly uninstalled in the first place. I deleted the Android SDK folder and thus freed up 61.2GB of C drive space. I know some people are reluctant to install apps to help with these sort of tasks (I'm usually one of these people but I was clueless as to where all my C drive space had gone), but it worked for me.
