There are many reported issues about Windows Drive (C:) eating up a lot of space automatically. Windows 10 users experience this issue once they start updating their PC, especially from a previous version of Windows. But it can also be due to other issues like malware infections, corrupted files, too many temporary or cached datas or a large file that you stored in a C drive folder unknowingly. This issue can get worse resulting in frequent software crashes and lags. Here are some methods that you can try to reduce your Windows C Drive storage consumption:
METHOD 1: CLEAN UP JUNK FILES AND TEMPORARY DATAS
METHOD 2: SCANNING THE PC FOR VIRUS OR MALWARES
METHOD 3: CHECK FOR DISK ERRORS AND UNUSED PARTITIONS

To Check For Unused Partitions:
If none of these methods worked for you, It might be due to Windows Updates and previous updates files and I recommend you to reinstall the Windows again which you can learn from here.
