Too much windows folder

Help me, good people, here's a cake, so I have a point of windows was to find out the cause, and found that my C drive is only 4 GB left, I cleaned up the download folder, and the system still takes 47 GB and then I look and see that the windows folder takes as much as 25GB. That it can be removed so as not to break the system?

Go to system properties, tab system Protection" and check what percentage of space of drive C is used for this purpose. There should not be more than 5-10%.

Go to control panel, design and personalization, folder options, view and put a checkbox to show hidden files and folders, and then remove the checkbox on the protected system files. Go to the windows folder on drive C, there will be a hidden folder installer. I'm sure it's takes more than 5GB. Transfer it to another hard disk and make it a symbolic link. After transferring to another train, take it on drive C. Go to a command prompt with administrator privileges and prescribe team. mklink /j c:\windows\installer d:\installer
In the last record, respectively, specify where you moved the installer folder.

Try the program for cleaning of system from unnecessary files like Glary Utilities or CCleaner. Maybe you have a lot of temporary files are accumulated.

It is a common thing when the folder Windows weighs in at over 20 gigs, especially if 64-bit axis. You can go to the properties of the disk under disk cleanup and clean, there is a button"clean up system files, which also cleans the windows old folder if it's there.

1.It is necessary to adjust the paging file size is to supply a constant her size (not by choice) and not on the disk!
2.Disable and delete the file gibernatsii.( possible with script)
3.To specify the size of the recycle bin on all drives no greater than 1GB.
4. To delete files driver installation program driver_cleanup
5.Install the program and clean the drive :AusLogics BoostSpeed,CCleaner,Revo Uninstaller Pro,Smart Defrag 5.
All.

A dozen times it is likely that backup of the update files is preserved.
