I had 34GB free space in my C drive of 100GB. But free space suddenly dropped to 4GB without any reason. Please guide me to create free space.

      Maybe a fake log file. Run Malwarebytes to be sure there is no infection.
      100GB drive or partition is enough for Windows but not enough for more than a few programs, I would have recommended a slightly larger drive or partition and then your programs could reside there too. Seriously consider turning off Drive Indexing for that drive, this should also save you some space as will the already suggested reducing the system restore from it’s default 15% I think to simple 8% of the drive size. If you have enough memory you can turn down the Paging File (Virtual Memory) to about half of your actual memory or turn it off on that drive and turn it on for another drive instead. Empty your trash bin at least weekly as well. These will also save you drive space.

      You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
