I have tried disk clean up and disk clean up with system files with no effect.
Finally to solve it, I went to I changed the attributed of the files on my drive C:
- Write click on Drive C and click properties.
- In properties, select "Compress drive to save disk space" and unselect "Allow files on the drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties".
- Press Apply. The process with take a couple of hours on my SSD drive.
and Hola, I had ann extra 7GB of space.
Other Techniques:
- Reduce the amount of space system restore takes. To do so go to system restore settings in control panel.
- Reduce the amount of space hibernate files take. Run command prompt as administrator and execute Powercfg.exe /hibernate /size 50 . Additionally, switch off fast boot up /start up in control panel. This would give you a good amount of space. Stop using hibernate also.
- Or, Switch off hibernation and fast boot up all together. Run powercfg /h off from administrator privilege command prompt.
