# Disk Space




Disk space is the storage capacity on a drive, divided into used space and space available for new files.




Disk Space instructions, reference material, and troubleshooting.


 


## Which drive is running out of space?




Check the drive letter and available capacity before removing anything. The Windows system drive, a separate data drive and an external backup drive are different targets. Use the disk-space guide to identify the affected drive and the files using it.




## Is freeing space the same as repairing a disk?




No. Cleanup removes files you no longer need; it does not repair a failing drive or file-system damage. Keep a backup of important data and use a disk-repair guide when the symptom is an error rather than a lack of capacity.
