Windows 10: drive C is getting fatter

After I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10, drive C (the system drive) shrink to less than 60GB.
Now it grew back to 80GB. Disk cleanup (incl. system cleanup) didn't change a bit.
I already erased everything related to windows 7.
Is there anything else I can do?
thanks

:)

 

C drive is getting full automatically

You can use treesize, a freeware that would show you which files are taking so much of space.

TreeSize Free - JAM Software

Post back a screenshot of the same and run Treesize as admin as well.

 

C drive is getting full automatically

Dear members,

After few updates it is observing that the C drive is getting full automatically day to day. After removing the windows old version file there was approximately 25 GB free space in the C drive but now it is only 1.32 GB.

I have selected all the files and folders in C drive then it is showing 37.9 GB occupied but the C drive is total 61 GB. So where is using the rest of memory? I have checked it by disc clean up also but there has no such big files. Here is few attachmentsfor
your reference. Please help.

Thanking you,

Biplab

 

Hello, really hard to answer.. for example, C: might contain
- lots of user data
- programs you've installed and all their temporary files
- Windows itself, current files
- Windows.old and files related to a Windows upgrade (which will be deleted after 10 days in the case of the anniversary upgrade).
- temporary files related to browsers
etc etc

If you want to see what's taking space, try Windirstat (free).
After it scans, it will create a rather cute picture for you.

Ccleaner is an extremely well-known cleanup tool, and safe to use.

 

thank you for your prompt answer
Is ccleaner safe to use with windows 10?


it is all my mistake
I don't know how I fell in this sudden momentary illiterate blindness...
I have 80GB of free space which is almost 70%
sorry.. next time I'll be more carefull
thanks again

 

No problem .. do try Windirstat - interesting style.

Ccleaner is an extremely well-known cleanup tool, and safe to use.
I use it prior to updating my disk image.

Never bother with registry cleaners.

 

of course I tried windirstat immediately only to remember that I used it in... windows 95!
thanks for ccleaner tip
will use it also
