Same as my problem but I got the solution, Just put %temp% in run terminal and delete everything in this folder, after this restart your computer and you will see a visual change in your C drive.
Thanks.

install avira antivir and remove any other virus scanners
use ccleaner to clean them files and windows cleaning utility. right click on the windows disk - properties- tools cleaner
also defraggler another tool has a menu that shows the largerst files on disk.
If you are downloading torrents that might be the issue with incomplete files taking up the space.

You might have gotten hit by a Virus.Try to use Advance system care and do a full scan but before it Goto search in start menu and type " %temp% " and delete everything only 1 file wont get deleted as far as i know skin it if needed then See.
Even if it didn't fixed the issue transfer some Space from other drives to C drive

Disk defragmenter should be a utility, You can use it to clean up the disk for extra space
Scan it with malwarebytes to see if anything pops
I suspect either the system restore keep bloating his hard drive or malwares
This. Most likely malware. Malware bytes and Spybot should clean most of it up. Be careful what you download from now on.. The culprit is probably windows update files. Windows is downloading updates and keep some of them stored on disk even though they are installed.
There was special Win 7 update to Windows Disk Cleaner available which fixes this problem and you could delete those files.
But it is not mandatory update, and some Win 7 simply don't have this installed. Check yours.

2 and 3 hibernation mode and sleep mode https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/comparing-sleep-hibernation-and-hybrid-sleep-on-windows
Only need to do a system backup here and their unless really need to. Never used restore point as not needed in many years. Lot simpler to just make a recovery disc. Hibernation and sleep mode often caused me problems when mining or coming back to system so I 1 keep running and leave running or 2 just close system down. 1 of the 2 or even both use up hdd space.
Use a program called TuneUp Utilities now know as avg tune up. Shame avg took over it but still does the job at kill tuns of stuff and also safely removes lots of stuff including the above and also windows updates that is left behind after doing normal windows updates as it creates a restore point. Will be surprised on how much data gets gobbled up by the above. Hope you solve ya problem

In the beginning when I started to use window 7, the same problem was also with me, but sooner I found that it is because of automatic window update, whenever an automatic window update occurs you will notice in your programes/file from cpanel that there are some programes (beneficial programes by microsoft) installed on your PC.
So I found it beneficial but as the space on my disk was lower I disabled automatic updates and after then I did not faced any problem like that.
The other solution is that, from your cpanel in your programs, with each update you will find some repeated programs (like you will see a number of versions of C++ and .net, so to keep the space free try to remove the older versions after each updated version is installed.
I hope it will help you.
Thanks.

Everyone given so many solution. Did the OP paid the Tip 
Hello
Maybe the problem comes from System Restore (creation of restore points or creation of a system image, which take space on the hard drive).

If your C drive is getting full, try extending its space. May be your problem will get resolved.
Try CCleaner, but if you are afraid that It'll remove browser's history, than you can edit this option in settings.
Also if you are using After Effects, Sony Vegas or similar programs, thank clear their cache and your problem will be solved.
If windows reinstall and remove of everything don't works, than use a professional tool Partition Assistant - FREEWARE. With this software, you can resize your Drive C as you wish. You can move free space from other partition (like Drive D) into Drive C, which keeps your system partition more healthy. For instance, you can increase your Drive C from 8.67GB into 16GB very easily and promptly.
I hope one of this method will help you to solve problem.

right click on your (Local disk C) and check compress this disk to save space. or you might have some malware
How many wallets do you have in your computer? All the blockchains may account for your automatic free space lost problem, however it is pretty absurd for that to happen. You might want to run Malware bytes Anti Malware once, hitmanpro too
What is your local disk C: storage? Go to start and run and put %temp% and delete the temorarly files they sometimes can be very large because of the softwares you have installed on your PC. Also do a deep search on the local disk C: and see what is being created (which files) every time after cleaning.
it is 57 GB total. I removed Temporary files anyway. only 2 gb got free. although I should have 15 to 20 GB Free.. and I know that 2GB which I released by deleting temp files will lost again.
Enable "show hidden files" and delete $RECYCLE.BIN
also empty recycle bin, if you just only delete unnecessary files.
You need to check severally folder sizes, that there it occurred which of programs use lot of space and remove or disable him

You Guys are not getting my problem. I've did all these basic things. I've cleaned my system many times. but my problem is not "low space" my problem is my disk storage getting low without downloading and installing anything.
I've released almost 17 to 25 GB by deleting so many files and softwares time to time. but after some time it again shows me that "You are running out of space"
my local disk getting full automatically. even I didn't downloaded anything there..
I Don't know whats going on..
