    I use the free Everything program. It lists every file on your PC. Set the list so that you see the largest files at the top. Have a look through the big ones.
    I have previously deleted the Windows.old file and the Hibernation file. You can delete files from within Everything. I've also found large files in the Documents folder.

    you don't have to use 3rd party tools, windows has on board stuff for that, these 3 commands do the same:

    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
    Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /SPSuperseded
    //edit// my bad, windows clean manager seems to come with windows...
    Ok.. I checked it a little, I'm pretty sure it can't get rid of old updates and service packs.
    The commands above deal with that.
