Where are the junk files locations in Windows 10?

[Frost]

So my SSD is 118GB and my HDD is 1TB. I put games, Documents, Musics, Downloads, ect to my HDD. And my SSD is for Program Files and Windows 10 Boot up.. I just realised that 3 days ago my SSD still have 50GB free Space, but now it's 22GB free.. i'm guessing it's going to be the trash files but i haven't even install anything this week and my CCleaner only found 1GB junk files in SSD.. I'm just scared if my SSD just ran out of free space without my knowledge..

my Program Files and Program Files (x86) only used 25GB.. i bet the Windows 10 used some of it too but i don't think it will took 96GB..

Note: Sorry for posting 3 discussion/topic with different problem in the same Forum at the same day :/

Then its not temp files that are taking up space.

You changed the location of the downloads and my documents folders to D:/ ? Or is it still on C:/ ?

Same places they are in every other WinOS.

All u need is run Disk Cleanup and CCleaner...

Are you running NVIDIA GPU? ShadowPlay is probably eating up your C Drive.
Disable Shader Cache too.
Set PageFile lower.

Disable Hibernation to rid the C Drive of its file
Winkey+X
Command Prompt (Admin)
powercfg /h off

If your OS updated to Creators Update, you have a "C:\Windows.old" containing the previous OS version, remove that using Disk Cleanup.

Rid the system of System Restore Points and set this space to approx 10% only.
Then create new restore point and give it a custom name of choice.

i'm not using Shadowplay though.. i have Shadowplay but i have never used it

i did ran CCleaner and Disk Cleanup but it doesn't help much.

i put the command in the cmd prompt as admin but nothing pops up after that command.

and there is no Windows.old file

what is Shader Cache? and how do i disable Hibernation?

windirstat + ccleaner + ccenhancer + farmanager x64 + cmd.exe +
fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\ - set auto optimize (shrink and defrag system journal, reserved space NTFS, used for WindowsUpdate - it's not cleanup automatically and may use few Gb
fsutil usn deletejournal /n c:\ - delete user journal - same for downloaded user files, temp, content created by user
powercfg /h off - disable hiberfill.sys
powercfg /h on - enable hiberfill.sys

user friendly manager for restore points - System Restore Explorer (old, but still good)
or you can use ccleaner+ccenhancer or farmanager

for crawl and manage super hidden system files - use cmd.exe or farmanager, runned as Administrator

!before using any cleanup utils, check ram, hdd and file sysyem!

if you have more than 6Gb ram - set pagefile 200(minimal) ...2048Mb(if you have printer)

Run as Administrator cleanup.cmd:

powercfg /h off
fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\
fsutil usn deletejournal /n c:\

reboot and defrag

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download - temp files WU
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\ log of update and system restore
C:\Windows\Logs\DISM log dismount system (run when you run disk cleanup with cleanup system files and WU backups)
