Windows 10: Two Identical Computers / Different Available Disk Space

My company is test driving Intel Nuc Mini PCs to power digital sign boards. The two I have currently is for testing - if it works out well, we'll buy more. Anyhow, out of the box, I installed the 300+ updates. The SSD is only 32GB so I had to connect a USB drive to download the updates. After installing the updates, I removed applications we'll never use and I ran the Disk Cleanup utility to get rid of other bits we don't need. One computer has 10.4GB free space and the other has 2.61GB free space. The two machines are identical except for one thing -- while searching for folders to purge, I found a Windows.old directory which I made gone with the Disk Cleanup tool. The computer that only has 2.61GB available disk space did not have the Windows.old directory.

What can I do to clear up some disk space on the second computer?

Any help would be appreciated.
