See screenshot showing my C: drive near full and plenty of space on my D: drive allocation: https://www.screencast.com/t/eaW92AgbXXF. It's the same 512 GB SSD drive. What's the easiest way to reallocate space, to take XX GB from D: and apply to C: drive?

You will need to delete D and expand C. The Disk Management tool in Windows can do this. Looks like there is just enough room on C to hold the contents of D.
Do a backup first!
This utility may allow you to find the log file that is eating you your space?

Without any doubt, you shoul try SpaceSniffer, the best freeware program I'd use to know what is eating the disks:

Thanks!!!
That is an awesome little program to sniff (intentional) out what is using your disc space.
You might to remember that if you move your folder to a different drive, that was one of the specifics that caused the October update to delete data.

Not as cool as WizTree, which uses the file allocation table to scan the drive and will produce a map for a 512GB drive in a few seconds.

... I still prefer the simplicity of the interface of SpaceSniffer.
So much 3D effects are very distracting for me, and makes difficult to se some details.
I think that the 3D interface of WizTree have usability problems because of this effects.

That link is not working for me, Stephen: https://www.screencast.com/t/flnEFeb1l
Works for me as it downloads to my laptop.
Once again it works on my laptop sticker to the rescue.

No no...I don't want to delete D: drive...I want to keep that! I do all my Dev work there; just use C: for Windows system crap. These Windows updates over time are slowly filling up the C: drive. I already moved the TMP folder to D: too.
You will want to check your Windows Temp folder. It can eat up gigabytes of disc space with nothing relevant to keeping your system operating.

Try moving the user folders, Documents, Pictures, etc to D. If that isn't enough use Partition Master to shrink D, move it so the free space is next to C then expand C.

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?
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.

Yes that iTunes Backup-files is a huge spacekiller, especially if you have "Roaming Profiles" in your Domain.... LogOn and LogOff then takes tens of minutes...
Only solution is to make a Symbolic Link of that directory to somewhere else outside the User-directory (use MKLINK.exe for that), since Apple is too stupid to make the backup target somehow configurable.
