      Your C drive is getting filled up because of the datas and save files from the various applications installed on your PC. Your Window’s datas would also add up to this list. It’s because Windows 10 is a high performing and modern OS and so it does require a large disk capacity inorder to save its datas and files.

      There are some ways to resolve this issue :

      1) Disk Cleanup : Disk cleanup can improve your disk space by removing many unwanted files. To use Disk Cleanup :

      • Go to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.
      • Click Disk Cleanup.

      2) Disk Defragment : They can analyze your disk and remove some corrupted or junk files. To use Disk Defragment :

      • Right click the drive
      • In the Drive’s Properties dialog box, Click the Tools tab.
      • Click the Defragment Now button
      • Click the Analyze Disk button.
      • Wait while Windows checks the defragmentation on the media
      • Click the Defragment Disk button

      3) Resize Your Partition : You can increase your Drive storage by going to Disk Management which can be accessed by :

      • Right click This PC
      • Click Manage and select storage
      • Click on Disk Management option

      Note : Increasing your C drive storage can decrease any other drive storage

      4) Freeing Up Unwanted Apps And Games

      Special Tip : Run Windows Run Program by using the shortcut key : Windows + R. Search ” %temp% ” and ” Prefetch” and clear up everything. This could free up more than 1-3gb junk files, If your doing it for the first time

      Hello,

      Windows 10 is a modern and resource heavy operating system. Windows 10 system and installation files are installed in C. Additionally, if you install other software then as default it gets installed in drive C and eats your space bit more. I assume that you must’ve installed lot of software in your computer. One person has listed some ways to free up storage. Nevertheless I’ll list some more ways and other probable causes.

      • Excess software installed: Most probably you’ve installed way too much software.
      • Games: You’ve installed high sized games which quickly filled your space.
      • Windows Updates: Probably your laptop is getting updated automatically. Please go into Windows Updater and make it manual because Microsoft will be adding more features and latest security patches and this will eventually eats up your space. Install only important update.
      • Desktop Files: The files you save on Desktop contributes in adding up space in drive C. Because Desktop files are stored there only. Remove unwanted folders from Desktop.
      • Virus: Last but not least cause. Maybe your anti-virus is not updated or your Windows Defender is not updated or toggled off. Some virus continuously automatically creates small files in unwanted locations and not very easy to find locations. So you need to find and delete all the files. I personally recommend WinDirStat software for this role. It’s very light and easy to operate. Find such files which are unwanted and delete it. Download it from here https://windirstat.net/download.html

      I hope all these steps helps you fix the problem
