Significant memory loss on the hard drive

Solved

Hello,
I think I made a mistake on my laptop: with Glary Utilities I wanted to wipe free space. I started last night around 7 PM but by 4 AM I was only at 8%. So I stopped and turned off my computer. This morning I relaunched the same operation, went to work, came back and my computer was frozen, so I turned the machine off again during the process. I restarted with CCleaner which finished in almost 1.5 hours.
However, when I check my free space I realize that it has seriously decreased: by at least 70GB.

HELP!!

    Hi,

    Try using TreeSize Free to see if any software has left traces.

    Because it must write something to overwrite...

      Here’s what the test shows: 83,000mB are occupied by "Files," which is far ahead of "Windows." Honestly, I have nothing on my computer. Do you think that's it? And in the "Files" section, there is 70% of GDEL Temp.

    The only problem is that when I try to delete it, it says: impossible because it's too large for the recycle bin (127 GB haha). So I went to the local drive and tried to delete it, but the same issue. However, a window opened titled: deleting local disk C, I think it's the infamous one. Otherwise, what solution?

    I DID IT! IT REMOVED THE UGLY ONE! And I even recovered more than what I had before the free space was deleted. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FABUL you're a good guy!
