Follow these steps:

  1. First Start with Windows' Disk Cleanup for system files often missed in basic scans. Search for "Disk Cleanup" in the Start menu, select your C: drive, then click "Clean up system files." Check boxes for Windows Update Cleanup, Temporary files, Delivery Optimization Files, and DirectX Shader Cache, these can free 10-30GB on gaming laptops.
  2. Press Win+R, type %temp%, hit Enter, select all (Ctrl+A), and delete (skip locked files).
  3. If you have any paused game downloads in launchers like Steam or Epic Games (even at just 1%), they still take up the full game size on your drive despite not being complete. Head to each launcher, find those paused ones, and uninstall them to free up that massive hidden space right away.
