Having deleted that much from your hard drive I’d recommend doing two things:
1. Defragment your hard drive. Files will be spread out all over your drive after using that much space. This will make your PC even faster.
2. Use a program like a registry cleaner to make sure everything is still in the right place, that’s a great deal of space to free up and even the best hardware can have some software issues after it.

As a bonus, it might be a good idea yo wipe the areas that your computer no longer uses just to make sure there’s no lingering malicious code, several programs can do that for you.

My laptop has become somewhat of a craptop recently; I just used this and it calculated that it could free 17.9GB of space! Somewhat concerning? Yes, but I clicked “ok” anyway and prayed to God I wasn’t deleting some central nervous system file. Immediately I can already notice small things like windows refreshing and opening much fast. Thanks for the tip and we’ll see what other aspects have become faster!
