Download and use TFC
It will clean out all the junk, its better than Ccleaner. The only downside is that it also deletes all cookies. You have to sign in again, to all your sites
Temp File Cleaner - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

If users per windirstat shows nothing unusual,
TFC does not clean out the junk
May I suggest that you turn off System Restore.. You will get a lot of space back. Then make just one System Restore, for protection.
If you have Ccleaenr it can do the job for you.
This will show if SR is the culprit.

I ran TFC, it cleaned a little more stuff, my available space is now up to 12.6gb. I'm going to hold off on turning off system restore as I have plenty of space now. My main issue was with space "getting eaten" with no rhyme or reason to it. I guess for now I'll see if I end the day with around 12.6gb still available, or if I notice it changing during the day. In any event, the machine sure seems to be running faster.

Use Windistat. Take shots of the way it is now. Then compare if HD shrinks.
