So I have a 232 GB SSD and Apps and Features take up around 80 gigs, but clicking into it, I can only locate around 10 gigs of stuff. Where is the other 70 GB go, and how do I get rid of it to free up my system?
Tried this on Microsoft's forums not much luck over there yet, so hopefully someone here knows what's going on.

It is your machine, you should know what is/are on your storage. My test machine with many files/software but still have 58% free as shown
Please use Disk Management to see the full picture of Disk 0

I have a number of PCs using 240GB or 256GB SSDs and none of them use more than 25GB of disk space -- but then, I regularly run the utilities suggested below as they clean out a lot of crud:
Here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

Finally, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html
