I have windows 7 and my disc drive has a capacity of 120 GB. From one day to another it tells me that my disc C is full in a red bar but I dont have many programs installed. I deleted all of my videos, games, music, pictures, etc and I was able to free up 30 GB. I ran the disk cleaner and emptied the TEMP folder and garbage can but it still shows a 70GB used. Can I get some help from the experts PLEASE!!!

2Have you used any kind of visualation program like [WinDirStat](http://windirstat.info/) yet to see what folder is taking up all the space? If it's a windows folder don't just go deleting stuff you don't know what it is. Come back here with screenshots. – Scott Chamberlain Jun 29 '13 at 01:12

2Have you checked if it was being used up by system restore? – cpx Jun 29 '13 at 01:12

@ScottChamberlain There is a folder under Windows called Logs and when I open it up it has a folder in it called CBS that shows a size of 26.6 GB. I dont know what that is? – user234570 Jun 29 '13 at 02:04

Apparently you ran the System File Checker utility and it generated a lot of logs. If you do not need the logs from running SFC you can safely delete it.
