By default, Windows will reserve a certain amount of space on your hard drive for things such as Windows updates and temporary files. If you have the need to reclaim this space for other use, you can easily disable the Windows reserved storage space on your drive. Then if you want to enable reserved storage, you can do that as well.

Here are the PowerShell commands from the video.

Check to See if Reserved Storage is Enabled
Get-WindowsReservedStorageState

Disable Reserved Storage
Set-WindowsReservedStorageState -State Disabled​

Enable Reserved Storage
Set-WindowsReservedStorageState -State Enabled

If you get a message saying the operation is not supported when reserved storage is in use. Please wait for any servicing operations to complete and then try again later, then try rebooting your computer or finishing any Windows updates.

Here is a link to the registry files from the video.
