The computer I am using has 7 other user accounts besides my own user account. Now it is running out of disk space. The operation system is Windows 10. Under "settings->storage," I can see "Other people" are using 220 GB in total. I believe there is one old user account that no one currently uses but has a lot of stuff in it. I cannot remember which one it is exactly. Is there a way to see how much of this 220 GB is used by each user so I know which user account to delete? What command can achieve this?

    What do you see if you click on Other people? – harrymc Jul 05 '19 at 16:42

  • Unused users profiles should be deleted. Just deleting the user does not remove the user’s profile – Ramhound Jul 05 '19 at 16:51
  • @ harrymc I see "manage other people" where I can delete other users. However, the usage of space by each user is not shown – nanjun Jul 05 '19 at 16:59
  • @ Ramhound could you explain "Just deleting the user does not remove the user’s profile"? So if I delete another user from my own account as an administrator, does it permanently remove their stuff and free up the space on the disk? – nanjun Jul 05 '19 at 17:02

To get a nice graphic display of all disk usage, try a third-party tool such as TreeSize Free, WinDirStat or an alternative.

In particular, look in the folders C:\Users\[user name]. To do so, you'll need to run the application as Administrator.
