Earth mostly.
OS
Windows 11 Pro 21H1
There's no Disk Space Usage Bar on the drives in This PC.

Is there a way to get that back?

Do you mean in File Explorer? Like this...

Under Add Columns, you need to check mark "Percent Full" to get the bars.
Then over where it says "Details" you can choose that or other ones in that section to gte various layouts.

Here's how to get the Classic Ribbon bar back in Windows 11...

Yeah... see my explanation over the bottom pic. To get the bars, you need to check mark "Percent Full" under the Add Columns drop down.





/edit

They did change it, it seems.
It ONLY shows the bars on: Details, Tiles or Content.
There are NO bars on any size Icons, or on List



/edit 2

I can't find ANY way to get the usage bars back for the Icons or List.

I just went on Windows 10. It's the same there.
The usage bars only show on Details, Tiles or Content.
