Default Cleaning hard drive

I have something taking up a lot of memory on my C Drive. However, I don't believe it's the installed programs. I deleted a lot of the installed programs, but no memory is being freed up. Any suggestions as to what could be taking up so much memory.

Try running AMUST's Disk Cleaner. It's freeware, I believe. It shows you exactly what folders and files are taking up space on the drive, very convenient.

Thanks.

Is it the white or the blue that's showing occupied space?

Blue is occupied, white is free.
