Multiple iTunes backups of a phone, into a subfolder of %appdata%, was a recent hidden culprit in a client's disk issues. I used WinDirStat but will check out WizTree.

Maybe you should first clean up your C drive:
Open a CMD window with administrative Rights. Start "CleanMgr /sageset:1"
In that dialogue select all entries, beside of "User Shadow Copies" Close it. That selection is now saved as "set 1"
Now run it: CleanMgr /sagerun:1
Everytime you need a full cleanup, just use the second commandline again.
The trick with "sageset" is that you can enable much more cleaning tasks as with the standard interface.
Depending on how often you had windows updates, it may well reclaim several Gigabytes of no more necessary Updates etc.
Then, also delete all stuff in %temp%, as well as \windows\temp\ (it will choke on some files in use, just skip those)
Hi wOOdy,
Thanks for the tip. Just tried it. Not much changed, probably because I've already moved my temp environment setting to D:\TEMP instead and recently run this cleanup as well as CCleaner.
Was hoping this would get rid of old Windows Updates stuff but I guess that's already been cleaned?
