    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    There are hidden folders in your user folder. One of them is AppData.

    Probably most of this 35GB is being occupied by the AppData folder.

    View hidden folders as follows:

    • In the "File Explorer", select the "View" tab and check "Hidden items".

    You may have too many temporary files in the AppData folder.

    Use Disk Cleanup to clean the temporary files.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    This folder should NOT be deleted.

    It contains your user data, application settings, game saves, and other data. Some applications are also installed in this folder.

    Use Disk Cleanup to see if you can reduce its size by deleting the temporary files, as it often has a huge amount of temporary files.
