How do I remove data from a totally full Hard Drive, when you cant find it

Hi guys

I have brought home my daughters Desk Top, it is a bit old however it seems to run OK.

It has Win 10 installed and very few programs, and has a very small Hard Drive of only 75 G/byts and has started to run slow according to my daughter.

So I have had a look and went through all that she had loaded, plus all her Documents ETC.

The total space used for these documents, pictures, and everything else come to about 24 G/byts, leaving about 50 G/byts according to my calculations,
however according to the hard drive info it is totally full with 73.8 G/byts leaving only about 200 M/byts of free space, any wonder it is running slow.

So my question is this where is all this used data and how do i get rid of it.

Thanks for your help.

Leon
