Win 10 on my laptop. Yesterday I decide to go thru and delete files to recover space. When I got done, I ran a couple different disk cleanup programs. At this point my free space, instead of increasing, dropped from about forty something percent free space to a little over 2 GB free. What have I done and how do I fix it? Need to know anything else?

Use something like TreeSize to see what's taking up space and go from there.
