    1. Did you purge only regular files or also system files. If not perform the latter as well.
    2. Probably the most space is taken up by saved system restore points, as long as the system is running smoothly, you can remove them.


    Can I somehow remove it?

    My Computer -> Properties -> System Protection

    Just why do you want to delete the system restore point?

    Because it only takes up 568MB and that system restore point doesn't work I guess.

    Are you still worth backing up the C drive?

    What's in the screenshot in post #33 is nothing related to restore points. It's the space taken up by the backup. Only that I have the irresistible impression that there is something wrong with it, because the size of the files qualified as "system image" can have nothing to do with reality.
    Other than that.... this is not the same drive/the same partition that you wanted to clean up in this thread.

    I think there was an error during the creation of this backup and it did so. And how to delete this backup? And create a new one?

    Don't disable protection completely just, at most reduce with the bar available in the window the amount of space the system can use for storing restore points.

    You didn't answer the question, is it an SSD?
    I would suggest reorganizing the data anyway, given that quite a lot of space is taken up by your Users directory, where user documents and desktop are stored.

    Move the libraries to another drive such as D.
    Here described how:

    I don't have an SSD.
    And how much space to allocate to protect the system?
    From the Users directory I already removed the Temp files and they don't take up so much space.
    And in the backup it showed me something like this.

    The system, will remind you to back up your system. It's up to you to decide

    If you don't back up manually or with another program, you can set it up. Otherwise I would give up and ignore it.

    I scanned with disk analyzer in CCleaner and came out a lot of compressed .zip files but also .cab so I join the question. Is it possible to clean .cab files from C drive to free up space ?
