Windows 10: System is taking up 429GB of space.

Hello, I have a problem with my space usage. My computer suddenly ran out of storage after an update and the system warns that there is not enough space for working. I haven't installed any apps recently and I kept deleting or moving files to my external hard disk, but the released storage keep being filled out. I read similar inquiries and some say that it is something due to a bug from the windows update... I used TreeSize and check what's taking up spaces, but I am unsure if I can delete those files and I need help... Please, your help is greatly appreciated.

:)

 

System Taking Like All of my space ._.

Windows File Explorer is not great at finding out where your hard drive space is being used . . .

• Click HERE to download a small free utility Called TreeSize.
  
• Run that utility as Administrator
• Point it to your C Drive
• Let the list of files/folders build
• Expand out the folder(s) that are taking all your hard drive space
• Please provide a screenshot of the resulting window in order for us to make a better analysis of what is happening with your system and suggest a remedy

  • Go to this PC.
