I recently noticed that my C drive is nearly full on my Windows 11 Galaxy Book S (SM-W767V). The system claims that my applications are using around 180GB out of 220GB, but I don't have any apps that should be consuming that much space. Can anyone help me figure out where all this storage is going?

I had a similar issue, and it turned out I had a lot of temporary files building up. Even after cleaning them out, it felt like they returned too quickly. If you're looking for a longer-term solution, you might want to consider upgrading your storage; something like 512GB or 1TB would really help.
The Disk Cleanup app can definitely help, but it sounds like you might have already tried that and only freed up a couple of GB. I recommend using WizTree or WinDirStat to get a clear view of what files and folders are taking up space on your drive. Just make sure you don’t accidentally delete any system files!
Definitely check out WizTree! It helped me pinpoint large files that I needed to deal with. Just be cautious about deleting anything that looks important to your system functioning.
I tried that! It helped me find and delete some unnecessary large files. Problem solved, thanks!
Yeah, I gave WizTree a go. It showed me some huge files I didn't even know were there. Thanks!
