Windows 10: C Drive Getting Full for no reason

My C drive keeps getting full. Only around 45 MB is free out of 228 GB. The biggest folder I have in there is Windows 10 with around 3 GB. There are no large hidden files. I check the Windows/Logs/CBS. It is only around 150 MB.

I removed all downloads, temporary files, caches etc. The freed space quickly fills up again.

I tried the check disk chkdsk option. It did not change anything.

Does anyone know how to fix it?
