32GB eMMC too small

Can't the 128GB SD card be used to launch new apps? I can down load them, but they don't run...

OK, I got as far as to save to paint. Now I've got to upload to tinypic, but I still don't know how to get it from Paint onto my hardrive to upload. Is it already saved in a file? Under what? Thanks for your patience...

You are seeing it in Paint?
Then hit the SAVE button!
Remember where you save it.
Then, go through tinypic...

Not set to Hibernation... doesn't show on power options. Restore points = none. Page sizing is Currently Allocated 1280mb.

Thanks, for walking me through that!

OK...
The Recovery folder is taking up 15% (3.7GB). Move that off to the D drive.

If you notice, your Program Files and Program FIles (x86) is under 2GB total. Applications are TINY.

Total, you're using 24.4GB out of that drive. Which is actually only a little over 28GB actual usable space.
So...there should be sufficient space to have OOo and LastPass on there no problem.As noted above, the install of OOo is under 1GB.

Add..I still maintain that you should be able to install someing on the 128GB SD card.
File Explorer sees it as the D drive?
Install something, and see if it will let you install to that drive.

Under settings I find: System Files 12.2 GB, Virtual Memory 1.26GB, Hibernation 1.56GB System restore= o.oGB File Explorer sees the SD card as D drive... I don't know how to move Recovery... I try to find it in Win Exp. with no luck. Under Settings, Storage, I can see C & D drives, but can't really read what's in them. Can't find it under Apps & Features... Where should I look?

So hibernation IS still on, sucking up 1.5GB
Turn it OFF.

(yes, it says 7 & 8, but the exact same steps for Win 10)

Just checked my Windows Properties on my "C" drive, and it come in at 15.9GB! Something is really wrong! That's where all the space is being consumed! I'll go now and check if I can delete somethings without problems.... just not sure what to delete!!

Windows 10 downloads windows upgrade files and uses more space, and your hd is full again in a few days... I had the same problem so I installed Linux Ubuntu to replace windows. There is no chance to work with windows 10 at 32gb without deleting files everyday and have performance problems... very slow... Ubuntu works fine

OK....
We need a little backstory here.
What hardware do you have?
What "apps" are you trying to install?
What OS is this?

However...
I have a little Asus Transformer, with a 32GB eMMC drive, and a secondary 64GB SD card.
Currently, Win 10 Home.

Sure, you can install things on that SD card.
The 32GB drive is STILL too small for real use, but you can

This is a big problem
