I own a TC-885-EB15 which has a 2TB internal SSD.  I'm attempting to move a 16GB Folder into this file, but it's telling me I don't have enough space as it thinks it's the Acer 118MB drive, which is almost full. Is the drive mapped incorrectly and if so how do I remap it, or is something else mixed up here?

    Yup, you have something wonky going on. The partition that is around that size is the EFI partition and it should be hidden from Windows. Can you fire up Disk Management and take a screen shot for us?

    That all looks perfectly normal. Windows should only be seeing two drives, C: and D :. You have lots and lots of space on the latter and almost no space in the former. It looks like you should move a bunch of stuff between the drives, to free up space on C:. Note that C: isn't 118MB, it's 118GB, or a thousand times as big. :)

    Can you tell us how did you move the 16 GB data? I think there must be something wrong with the moving process.
    Normally, the 100 GB UEFI and the 1.0 GB Recovery partitions are hidden and not accessible easily in Win 10 without doing something special.

    @ttttt, if you look at his image, the C: drive is the one with the issue. It's 118GB (not 118MB) in size but has less than 16GB free. He's not accessing the EFI (100 MB, not 100GB) or the recovery partitions.

    You are right, I did not look close enough at the small prints.
