No window.old or old.window folder is present. Attached is a shot of Computer Management.
Many thx

you can download this tool: TreeSize Free - Quickly Scan Directory Sizes and Find Space Hogs
it can help you search the file that is causing this.
Windows taking 45.6GB (very high)

Check your Restore Points Settings.
Control Panel>System>System Protection and highlight C drive. Configure.
Lower it, (click OK) and reboot and you should see an increase in hdd space.

I do not do backups
I was able to recover about 40GB by deleting some accounts and their folders, but the folders returned after reboot.
But that is still too much space used for the OS and the default Admin user.
