100% disk usage

Jobin123

Hello. I bought a Nitro 5 (AN515-43) a couple days ago, and I started using it just today. However, after I installed 2 games my storage was almost full. Says I'm using about 118 GB with just 6MB of free space. 
Would love some help!

Well when the disk is almost full this is an expected behaviour. Free some space and the system will run again as usual.

Oh well that's too bad, I kinda expected a lot more from such an expensive laptop with just a couple hrs of usage. 

Thanks.

Get bigger ssd and you will not have an issue. How can you expect that if the disk is full the laptop will work ok? BTW the laptop is an entry level gaming model and it is around ~600$

Oh, forget about it. Youtube had the information I needed, was just the Acer C was full, but AcerData D is still empty will plenty of space!

BTW is around 2000$ USD. Things are a bit more pricey in third world countries you know

Then move the games to D\ drive and you will be fine

First of all, lets clarify a terms of "Disk Usage"

1. Disk Usage refers to the portion or percentage of computer storage that is currently in use.
   For example: Your HDD has specific read/write speed as 100mbps to 150mbps (a common speed any HDD has). If the sum of the read/write speed exceeds than 100-150mbps then 100% disk usage occur. 
2. Disk Space usage  is the total amount of space that a given disk is capable of storing (like 256GB, 500GB, 1TB, etc)

SO, in your case you were asking about Disk Space.
Installing 2 games (~119GB) making your disk space low, meaning you don't have enough space on the drive. I assume you are installing the game in you C drive, which only have around 128-150 GB size in total.
To solve this, move the games to D drive, I assume you have separate drives for storing your data,media (videos, musics, pictures, etc) which are a lot of bigger than C drive.
Please note, if your C drive is SSD and your D drive is HDD (which a common case), you must expect speed reduction during accessing the data in D drive.
