download software to visualize which files are taking up the space, e.g. treesize, spacemonger. My Win10 unstable and generate a lot of temporary/ dump files until my C drive almost 80GB full. After deleting those files, back to about 30GB.

This. Windows built-in cleaner won't clean 3rd party ones like antivirus or firewalls. It's most likely in the ProgramData folder. Some antivirus/firewall process could be crashing, not necessarily whole program crashing.

And do this steps, one by one in "Administrator: Command Prompt", remember to press [Enter] after typing each of those commands and wait for it to complete the process.

SFC /SCANNOW

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

You're right. It's in the ProgramData. Actually, my issue is like this https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/commen...agnosisetllogs/

After delete all files in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs folder, gain back the space.
