How to clean it?
There, are many things that may fill up your PC like installing many softwares, your PC has more
files and something related to it..
But, sometimes you may find your 'C' drive full without any reason, like it happened to me, I just
wrote a blog post about how to Check amount of free space in hard disk or SSd you can see it
[here] but when i returned after my breakfast i was shocked to see My hard disk Space becoming
almost full and a low space notification starts to appear.
I don't know, what happened to my PC, so i started to figure out the things.. Which i worked..
First, i checked Whether System restore point was full.

2 )Click on System Protection on the left pane.

4) Select the 'C' drive on the Protection settings
5) Click Configure
6) It will open System Protection for Local Disk C:
7) Click on Delete
8) Click on Apply - > OK.
Unfortunately, it doesn't showed much result to me, So i moved to the next step which is
clearing Recycle Bin

2) Press Ctrl + A, and then Shift + Delete keys on Keyboard

will permanently delete all your files.
So, i moved to clear temp section..

It cleared some free space, but still i'm not satisfied..
Next, i thought to use disk clean up utility but, i thought it won't yield better result, because i only
performed the disk cleanup the previous day.
At last, i done something unusual (i don't know how it appeared on my mind) it's looking on Event
viewer.
I finally solved the problem. What happened to my PC was,it faced with Blue screen of Death error
again and again.
So, it was the log files that increased my PC storage, Clear it and you will get back your free hard
Since, it worked for me on the previous step, i had stopped. However, if your issue was still resolved,
try deleting or uninstalling a program that occupies your hard disk Space.
That's it..
