    Beats me? But i did a quick look on the c drive and my user folder (my name) is taking up 12+ Gb. The folder appdata is taking a good bite of that with 7.5 GB.
    I don't know what that folder 's for

    Run CCleaner to clean out Temp program staging files that are no longer needed.

    You can also clean out the Temp files in each AppData folder manually. Unhide the files at Control Panel>Folder Options>View and delete the folder contents.

    If you run WinDirStat, you'll know exactly what's on your Partition. But it will not show the shadowstorage. For that you have to run this cmd command: vssadmin list shadowstorage

    Then run CCleaner at defaults: CCleaner 3.19.1721 - FileHippo.com

    Post back a maximized window screenshot of what it finds after you click Run Cleaner, and another screenshot of the WinDirStat results with the largest folders explanded to see in them.
