So let me get this right, your system will have 10GB free on your C:/ drive but when you come back after a while with the system running the space has disappeared?

I would try turning hibernation off on your system, it could be that space is being reserved for the hibernation file.

    Open Search
    Type cmd
    Right Click Command Prompt and "Run as Administrator"
    In command prompt type: powercfg.exe /hibernate off
    Press Enter
    Type Exit then Press Enter
    Restart System

Well it would have cleared the hibernation file if one was present, provided you restarted the system.

You can use CCleaner to clean up your hard drive. Also Disk Cleanup which is part of Windows.
