Update Probems - how much storage?
Hi All Am I the only one experiencing update problems today (season 4 week 3)? i'm told that I don't have enough disc space, fair enough, so uninstalling apps and deleting files like mad, but Wind...

@ATFGunr After overnight scans spent the morning so far deleting a virus that was eating up my storage, but still need to recover the lost GBs! But sort of answered part of the problem. I've got that new EA launcher that does not offer repair (not that I can find anyway) and the original Origin isn't available anymore. I've managed to claw back around 4GB so far but usually run with 15 - 20 GB free - but this has never stopped updates to date. The EA app insists that the update needs 72GB. Even after clearing 4GB from the drive, the launcher still says I only have 27Mb.
Thanks for that anyway.... need to get some work done... but will run scans and clean-up over the day and probably reinstall the launcher. A bloody pain though!

@lzilchetl If you found a virus it may be worth reformatting and installing windows fresh...
That said, you can try running Windows Disk Cleanup utility [as admin] and have it clear up old windows installs [did you recently upgrade to 11? if so, it will have old Win10 files still there for either 30 or 90 days] as well as old updates.

Thanks, I went for a Windows reset, but had to uninstall BF2042 before I did that as the reset needs some spare space before it can run. All good now and I have my storage back and waiting for BF2042 to finish download (7hours apparently - that ADSL for you!) I might get a game tonight.... usually polish off most of the weekly missions on Tuesday night!Thank for getting back to me. I'vd had WIN 11 for quite a while, and spent hours deleting Creative Cloud apps and others to create space, but every time I created space the storage filled up again. Nasty virus!
But nice clean machine now!
