Where screen recordings are saved in Windows10 when I make them using the PrtSc/SysRq button. It seems they are stored in 2 places: first - "Screen recordings" folder and second one? Decreasing amount of hard drive memory make me think about.

The PrtScn button saves the screenshot to the clipboard (i.e., memory); it doesn't write to the disk.
Win + PrtScn (or Fn + Win + PrnScan) saves the screenshot to the Screenshots folder inside your Pictures folder.
Note:
If you've changed the snip shortcut from Win + Shift + S to PrtScn via Settings, the screen snip is saved to the temporary folder below on a Windows 10 computer:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\ScreenClipDoes the above information help?
