    "Lost" memory on C drive after update


    Few days ago I updated my Windows 10 to 17723_r5 (Fast Ring). I know that it's alpha/beta update, but this "bug" doesn't seems to be related to test software being installed.

    Device I use W10 is tablet with 32 GB memory chip. C drive has little over 28 GB. As i use SD card to store files I managed to have ~20 GB free on this partition. Didn't check after update, but today I got info about no space left and there was ~1 GB free!
    I used Disk Cleanup with sageset and sagerun commands, but after that it's "only" 14,1 GB of free space.
    All the folders and files take take only 5,37 GB (5,87 as I compressed Windows files). I enabled show hidden files and disabled hiding system ones and used CTRL+A to check all available files.

    Anyone knows were may be the rest of the space? How to recover it?
    Maybe there is something? Any software to check ALL files on the partition with their real space usage?

    Heh, strange thing happened. FOund "Storage" section in Settings and there it showed that 5 GB is used by Temporary Files. However when chosen it showed only ~300 MB possible to remove.
    Than I wanted to do a screenshots showing that and voila, temporary files disappeared. Now they are taking ~500 MB.
