You see that unalocated 30GB? Use it!
Right click on your windows partition, choose extend partition... As big as it allows. It will expand and use up the unallocated wasted space and give you a 30GB bigger C drive.
Also, if you do backups, with say Macrium. You can DELETE that 1000MB partition, and expand the storage drive by another 1000MB.
And turn off restore completely. And delete the used space to zero!
And then you can delete a bunch of other stuff...
Such as TURN OFF hybernation. Turn off SWAP FILE. TURN OFF SLEEP. Then delete the 3 now unused huge files in the root of your C drive.
In fact be sure you turned on the options to SEE:
System files.
File extentions.
Hidden files etc.
As I always do. Then you can DELETE every file in your C drive other than the ones remaining in my image below. Those are all that NEEDS to be there. The rest are all remnants of past events or old stores, old driver work spaces or install program remains etc.
With every hidden file in view it SHOULD look like this!
