    Which version?

    Users looks ok, mine is 17GB, Windows (7) 20GB.

    57GB is pretty small nowadays (and why 57GB?).

    You can clean a lot of temp, install, and log files, although if you have system issues down the road you may have no alternative to a reinstall. But dang, you can get a 1Tb drive now for fifty bucks.

    Right click on your C drive in explorer and goto properties and do disk cleanup. That will probably free up 10gb alone in windows update files.

    1. fleschdnb is right, make disk clean up as he/she said. But I have to add, clean up system files too. Click on button "Clean up system files" (I don't know exactly how it is written in English), after short analysis you'll see the second tab "Advanced". Then delete system restore points. They are made automatically from time to time and eat significant space (sometimes up to 15-20 Gb). Only old restore points will be deleted (exept the latest one). If your PC works fine rignt now, this is an absolutely safe operation.

    2. Download and install this: http://www.hibitsoft.ir/Uninstaller.html. In the right top of the interface there is a menu "Tools". Select "Junk files cleaner" from it. You can select files you want to clean up but I would advise you select them all. Hibit Uninstaller is the most effective cleaner I know. I use it all the time, it's safe too.
