I reset my pc. I completely wiped my c drive, and reinstalled win 10. My c drive says that 56 gb have been used and the only thing that's on it is windows 10. I do have a windows old folder but its size is only 356 kb

To quickly get back a big chunk of the missing space just open an elevated command prompt (right click run as admin) and type:

"powercfg.exe -h off" (without the parens) then hit return and restart your computer.

1. A screencap of your Disk Management window, please.
2. Install and run WinDirStat. Post a screencap here.

Probably due to hibernation file, restore points, and page file size. You can adjust or eliminate all of those.
