188 GB Unknown File Cannot Delete
Hello forum. I did do a quick search.
I have a 188 GB mystery file on a computer at work. Brand new computer, suddenly we are getting errors about how the 500 GB drive is nearly full. We were storing a lot of images. I back up the non-essential files to an external drive and investigate with windirstat. (see attachment)
Aside from hogging over 50% of the drive space, the only place this 'Unknown' file shows up is in windirstat. And the option to delete from windirstat is greyed out.
We'd really like to use this 50% of the drive and would appreciate any help. This is not my computer, so I'll put the specs below.
