Ensure your setup meets the requirements for a smooth installation on Windows 10.
My Windows 10 machine runs mostly PDFs and images, with the SSD nearly full. It's being used as an office setup for a used car dealership. Installation took around six months. It's really frustrating—can't even remove programs without running out of space. I ended up needing a 250GB SSD. Another office PC still has Windows 7 and only uses about 30GB.
There are many images available, but they can fill a significant amount of storage.
It seems like the system is malfunctioning. I recommend saving the data first before clearing it.
The control panel offers a feature to perform a complete reinstallation.
You attempted to use Ccleaner today. It successfully cleared more than 22GB of temporary files, and the system has been running smoothly for about three months after the last cleanup.
I also enjoy Cleaner, though the owner mentioned no space for installing the uninstaller. I suggested using the built-in Windows version first. Also, Cleaner has a portable option available, so you could download it on another PC and use it from a USB drive.

It wasn't just Windows taking up 110GB. All your downloaded items contributed—photos (each 3-5MB), PDFs (over 5MB each), user preferences, software configurations, etc. Did you verify which folders were consuming the most space? It’s unlikely it was the C: \ Windows directory.
