Suddenly 28 GB of space disappeared from C:

Hi, In the morning I opened my laptop and noticed that there is an around of 28 GB of space left in C:. I was running my dev application and for about after half an hour I got the "Manage space.." error.. I checked in the Windows Explorer and to my suprise
C: lost all its space. It was showing 0 GB. I have tried many resolutions that i found on web -

• Using CCleaner
• Clearing temp files
• Disk Cleanup
• TreeSize app to view the size of files

I don't have hibernate option enabled and also System Resotre Point is disabled.

Please help.
