Hey, thanks for taking the time to read my first post ever on this forum!

Today i was just checking my laptop(Win10), deleting programs i don't use anymore etc.
I noticed that i almost had 30Gb worth of games on my laptop, even though all
the games i play are on my desktop and that isn't even close to 30Gb (watch screenshot)

So i clicked on the Apps & games section an sorted programs on size,
and guess what.. my biggest program there is MICROSOFT OFFICE!
and a couple programs below we are talking about MB's..
that's a long way to 29.6 GB!

I estimate that it's around 5 GB MAX probably a lot less.
So why is this happening..

Same story with the other big section Temporary files (Tijdelijke bestanden)
Here is the screenshot

i'm scared`

I hope somebody here knows the answer..
I don't hope that everyone except me knows the answer..

Thanks in advance.

You could also try searching your drive by using the keywords "size:gigantic" in hopes of finding large files you are currently unaware of. If that doesn't work, disk analyzing software would be a good bet.

Keep me posted.
