Ran out of space on local disk C in Win10

What is the make and model of your PC?

Are the other 'Disks' separate hard drives?

How Large is your C-drive?

A. Please see :

Free up drive space in Windows - Microsoft Support

• Open the Start menu and select Settings > System > Storage.
• Under Save locations, select a drive from the dropdown menu. If the drive you want to use isn't listed there, make sure it's connected to your PC. (Do not change 'New Apps will save to:' ; change the other '... save to'(s) to D-drive
  - (a new folder tree will be created on the D-drive)

B. Next:

• Open up 'File Explorer' .
• Look for the folder you want to move (i.e. 'Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos)
• Right-click the folder and click on Properties.
• Click on the Location tab.
• Click on Move.
• Navigate to the folder where you want to move your folder to (where they were created by Settings>System>Storage in the previous step).
• Click on Apply.
• Click Yes, to move all files from the old location.

C. Finally, to move your iTunes see:

On the C-drive (right click the C-drive->left click properties->click the 'Disk Cleanup' button proceed to step 3 below):

Cleaning out your PC on a regular basis frees up drive space and helps it run better. One of the easiest ways to clean up files you no longer need is by using Disk Cleanup.

• Open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in the list of results, select Disk Cleanup.
• If prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then select OK.
• In the Disk Cleanup dialog box in the Description section, select Clean up system files.
• If prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then select OK.
• In the Disk Cleanup dialog box, on the Disk Cleanup tab, select the check boxes for the file types that you want to delete, and then select OK. To remove data from a previous installation of Windows, select
  the Previous Windows installation(s) check box. (check all the boxes, after clicking 'Cleanup System Files' in the previous step)
• In the message that appears, select Delete files. (answer yes during the cleanup, if Previous Windows installation(s) are on the device)
• Go back to Computer in File Explorer, select the drive you cleaned up, and then select Refresh. If you need to free more space (the drive is still marked red), go to the next tip.

Unallocated Space to C Drive

C drive disk cleanup problem

My c drive is constantly decreasing in space and it is getting worrysome as the space is just left with a few GBs.

In the past i tried freeing up the space by moving and uninstalling but it is useless because of this unknown space decreasing issue. Then today i tried using disk cleanup - clean up system files which shows me that I can clean up to 2gb of space. Tried
that and it seems to remove just 1gb BUT my c drive doesn't see a increase in space. I also tried deleting restore points which nothing happens too.

So there's 2 problems, disk cleanup remove just half of the junk AND disk cleanup not actually freeing up disk space despite cleaning up. Done a system file checkup, it said found some errors couldn;t fix.

SO any solution from Microsoft? OR any 3rd party tool can recommend to me?

thanks
