Windows 10: System files too big

Hello,


I have a bootcamp partition on my Mac for Windows 10. I allocated approx. 1000 GB for Windows. As of today, the System Files folder is 847 GB, and I can't understand why


I have tried searching for the largest files on my system, and for some reason, I can't make the Search Tab appear in the File Explorer Tab.. I did select Show Hidden Files, but I can''t seem to make it search for files unless I know the file name. But in any case, clearly there's something wrong happening.


Thank you













:)
