Reported Disk Usage

I have Quartus Pro 25.1.0.129 on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled some of the modules over time. These include the Agilex range and the huge EDA simlib file. When I track the disk usage in the Control Panel, Quartus doesn't update to reflect a lower disk usage when a module has been uninstalled. For example, I installed the EDA simlib to compile the libraries for a third party simulator then removed the file because it took up about 40GB of space. However, on the reported disk usage, the total amount still includes this 40GB. I have also observed that if you install the devices, remove them then reinstall them, the reported disk usage will be equivalent to double the correct usage. Is there a file that you can modify to change this to reflect the correct storage space used?

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I was able to reproduce the issue on my end and will escalate it to the tool specialist for further investigation. Although the reported installed disk size appears incorrect, the actual disk usage does not seem to be affected.

    I also tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Quartus, and the reported disk size returned to the correct value afterward.


    Regards,

    Richard

    I believe no further action is required from my side.

    The issue has minimal impact and has already been reported to the tool specialist for further review.
