In addition to
C:\Users\DummyFace\AppData\Local\Temp

There are other temp directories you can clean

c:/windows/Temp

c:/windows/temp/softwaredistribution
This directory can become large, especially if you have had installation
failures.Â* I have delete literally thousands of files.Â* It is best to
stop the update feature, but will work if you don't.Â* If you don't,
there are files in /software/datastoreÂ* that can not be deleted.Â* They
are insignificant relative to the possible files in the other folders

Clear the caches on your browsers.

Delete some of the early restore points.

Delete any *.tmp files

Some programs backup parts of the installtion.Â* Firefox will create
bookmark file backups forever.Â* You need to go into the about:config and
limit it.Â* browser.bookmarks.max_backups

I assume there are others in firefox and other browsers

All unused programs.

When I wrote the above I assumed you have used the Disk Clean function
from the Disk Property, and cleaned the disk and system files.

If not this is where you should start
