  3. disk clean up - clean up system files

    i used clean up system files in disk clean up in windows 10.

    it showed to clean up around 27 gb of previous windows i.e. windows 7.

    when i selected to delete files related to previous windows, instead of freeing up more space in my C: drive, it eats up approx 20 gb more. now i m facing more problems regarding memory space and system also started to lag frequently.

    i also opted for system recovery but no use.

    please advice how can i free that 20 gb (approx) space that i lost during system clean up process.
