Has anyone face such a problem as mine?
I update my laptop (xps2014) to win10 early this month. After update my laptop was left with 100gb++, it was all ok until last Friday suddenly my pc was reporting low disk space, check my system and found out that Windows take up 100gb++, leaving me with 1gb space left. FYI my laptop was a 256gb SSD version, I check my actual storage consumption and found out that the previous and current windows actual file size was only 40gb, but dunno why it take up so much suddenly, it was all fine for the pass few weeks with win10. Could anyone help me. I cant seem to find an exact answer on solving my problem on Google. Thank you.

That's probably your previous Windows installation backup when you upgraded to Windows 10. You can opt to clear that previous Windows installation using Disk Cleanup.

check for a folder named windows.old ..... google the way to remove the folder and you would reclaim the space back. This is one of the reason I never go with upgrade ... always clean install

I suspect the old version was the culprit but i recall on the first 2 weeks i install Win10 the system and restore was only 40+ gb why suddenly it rises so much.
Finger cross, try removing the old version and see, if this does not work then is no coming back to win8

Update on my case, after removing the old windows... it still did not resolve my problem. My system and reserve still use up 139gb....
I think it is abnormal to use so much.

disable hibernation save you at least few gigs
if your machine got more than 4gb ram, disable page file save u even more. esp if you using ssd and got 4gb ram+, disable page file only.

Windistar and found actually the system reserve 100+ gb was a *.etl file in Mcafee. I guess is sometype of backup or encryption.
Found nothing in Mcafee so i just delete the whole thing. Now everything back to normal.
