    Some time ago I bought a toy (because you cannot call it a computer) in the form of a Lenovo Yoga 300 in the cheapest version of equipment (Celeron 3050N; 2G RAM and a screen without IPS and a 32G Flash drive) with a W10 on board. The system itself took about 2/3 of the disk capacity. I deleted what I could and was unnecessary (oddly enough, some applications can not be removed, but you can see the charm of this equipment), installed Chrom, Ccleaner and turned on automatic updates and on-board Defender. The equipment was used only for browsing the net at work and receiving mail (via the website). Recently, I bought an inspection camera on the cable and had to install software for it ... and there is no disk space ... Ccleaner removed a little ... The system itself swelled to the size of almost 32G. It is true that he has made a few updates, but is it normal? Maybe like Vista is picking up some garbage that even Ccleaner can't find. Where to look for it?

    Delete the contents of the Windows / SoftwareDistribution / Download directory
    What do you have in TEMPs?

    Use for example: with WinDirStat you will see what it takes.

    I'm empty in Tempas, and also in Download. WinDirStat if zai n It happens (because there is no space) I will be able to test only when I have access to a laptop - now I don't.

    EDIT
    I put in the result from WDS.

    If you have made the updates, delete the Windows10Upgrade directory, it takes 4GB unnecessarily and you have upgrades

    Earlier I said my Windows / SoftwareDistribution / Download directory is empty but I mistook it for the "downloads" directory. Of course, something was in the mentioned directory (ok 1G) but the computer does not allow you to delete it. Brings directories back. I deleted something but not much. What is stored in this directory? What's more, after trying to clean this directory, the icon "Windows 10 upgrade assistant" appeared. What is the original W10 for?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the Lenovo Yoga 300, which is experiencing significant disk space issues due to the Windows 10 operating system consuming a large portion of its limited 32GB storage. The user has attempted to free up space by deleting unnecessary files and using tools like CCleaner, but the system continues to swell in size, potentially due to accumulated system files and updates. Suggestions from other users include deleting the contents of the Windows SoftwareDistribution Download directory, checking the Windows directory for large files, and removing the Windows10Upgrade directory, which can take up to 4GB. The user also noted confusion regarding the contents of the SoftwareDistribution directory and the appearance of the Windows 10 upgrade assistant icon after attempting to clean it.
