You're probably a vector for the Russians to hack the 2020 election now.

But seriously, run WinDirStat by right clicking and choosing 'Run as administrator'. That'll let you see the vast majority of the files on the drive.

Another thing you can try:

- Click start, type cmd, then click Run as administrator.
-From the cmd.exe window, type cleanmgr /sageset:99
That'll open the Disk Cleanup utility. Select everything (except Downloads … if you want to keep your Downloads folder). Then click OK and it will close.
- From the same CMD window, type cleanmgr /sagerun:99.
The Disk Cleanup wizard will then run with all the settings you chose in the previous step. This is especially helpful for removing the big-ass Windows.old folder that is created after a Windows feature update.

If you can't find what's taking up the space, you may want to run chkdsk /R from the elevated CMD window. It'll take a while, and you will likely need to reboot the system to let the disk check run offline. It will take a long time, so I'd recommend running it just before you go to bed, and let it go overnight.
