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.
I hope all these steps helps you fix the problem
