There is a resource I used on my previous laptop that showed where the abnormally large files were, found on SourceForge. The culprit for me was the folder within "Windows (old)" that had all of the outdated parts of Windows from each time there was an update.

Download the free and excellent GrandPerspective app and scan your disk, it will show you in a nested grahical form what is taking space.
