    I started to uninstall all of the sony bloatware from my fz140. Originally, i had 159gb of 179gb free. after uninstalling everything, i only have 150gb free. what did i do wrong?

    Im not sure what you id wrong, but I think uninstalling the bloatware caused the memory to lessen because the bloatware increases the memory originally??
    i dont really know, just a hunch

    could be that you've enabled windows restore and
    it creates a restore point every time you uninstalled something hence the smaller free space.

    just do a disk cleanup and choose to delete restore point
