    They are, after all, temporary files.........

    CCleaner might give you more details, but I suspect that you have a windows.old folder.

    Do you still have 10 GB of temporary files or did you bite the bullet and clean them up?

    An 'update' or 'refresh' of the OS might have created the windows.old folder for you. If that is what is eating up the 10 GB, change your folder view so you can see hidden system files - should be C:\windows.old
