    I have a 218GB SSD C drive. It says I have 5GB left.

    I can only account for about 100GB

    Windows - 51GB
    USERS - 14GB
    Programs - 16GB
    Programs(x86) - 12GB
    ProgramData - 8GB

    That's it. I've googled it but haven't found any help.

    Windows 11

    Start with checking C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Local\Temp - empty it if it's occupied.

    Try using a space analyzer program like WizTree. It's free, at diskanalyzer dot com (unsure if I can paste URLs). Another one you can try is WinDirStat.

    They'll show you what's using up space in your drive, both in a list and graphically.

    Download TreeSize and see if there's anything hidden

    Recycle bin maybe? It's kind of a lot for recycle bin but you never know.

    Also check the disk manager, see if the disk space is properly allocated.

    Windoze backups can be half that size. Choose an extrenal drive for backups if you have it.
