Windows 10 Storage reporting Error

[Welsh Dog]

My Win 10 installation works fine except for one flaw, it reports my 250Gb SSD as 'full' even tho it has at least 100Gb free space. I know this because it reported the drive as 'full' so I moved 65Gb of pictures to an external drive yet it not only still shows the drive as 'full' it doesn't recognise the pictures have been move and keeps suggesting I move them elsewhere!! Suggestions please.

Thanks, checked the thread but my problem isn't the amount of available space, it's the amount the OS is actually *reporting* as available, i.e. none!! Even tho the 'Pictures' directory is empty when I check Explorer, in 'Settings' the OS reports it as containing 65Gb. If it reported the disk contents properly it would show almost zero there! It's a similar story in 'Games' where I deleted/moved at least 100Gb of files... yet they are still showing in settings and it's cumulative total still shows the disk as filled.
