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. I have delete literally thousands of files. It is best to
stop the update feature, but will work if you don't. If you don't,
there are files in /software/datastore that can not be deleted. 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. Firefox will create
bookmark file backups forever. You need to go into the about:config and
limit it. browser.bookmarks.max_backups

I assume there are others in firefox and other browsers

All unused programs.
