How can I delete the "more than 20 GB backup" storage space? I didn't need the backup.

You can use Storage Management under System Management to delete the backup partition. Once its free you can make bigger the other partition with this free space. Be sure not to delete any partition marked as. ACTIVE/BOOT.

More than enough space. I have all of the videos from when my child was born as well as pictures and years worth of files, programs, etc. and I still only have maybe 20% used up.

hi, I think it is the storage it self. I do not have it any more. but you can easily check the spec.

not sure why mine did that before too, avoid making space by managing your apps and clearing storage contacts, thats what i did before and it deleted almost everyone, sorry i can't help much

I plugged my 128GB drive and also see only 119 GB. I am running FAT32 on Win 7 and got the same amount. Tried formatting in NTFS?

Formatted to 7.798 GB space available (8 GB version). For a bootable drive, I'd go to the 32 GB version.

When formatted properly there was plenty of space. Around 30 I think. But drive died after 2 months.

My HDD IS 750GB and shows 698GB is available for use. It keeps 2 GB for partion table and addressing storing data. I don't thing that amount of space is normal to keep reserved for system usage. Try to talk to seller or do low level formating maybe that works for you. I am not sure what is wrong with your HDD.

I think if I were doing this, I would not transfer your factory reset backup from the 32 to the 8 GB thumb drive. I would just redo it cold turkey onto the 8GB from the OS. I might even be more cautious and keep both of them,...just in case of doomsday.

Depends on what youre trying to store. Typically, for normal/average use, then it should be fine for quite some time. A full computer backup, without any files, is about 13GB of space.I purchased the 2TB...the bigger the better. But, I store a lot of movies, TV shows, and music.

Removeable. Also, just an FYI, you only get 117.56GB of useable space.http://imgur.com/TXYx1cD

Try formating it in other way than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

I just installed a new win7 os no problems at all. Then reattached my old drive and removed what I wanted , formatted it and store pictures and large programs on it. I am just sorry I did not buy a bigger SSD.

No, use your manufacture drive tool , third party software or simply reformat existing drive

Its theoretical storage is 256GB, not 256MB. However the available free space is only about 216GB after the preloaded sofeware

Only 128 GB is usable. The rest was wasted on OS junk no one needs. Thanks.
