Mystery disk space loss

A few days ago my ssd showed 90+ GB of remaining space. Yesterday, when I checked the disk space, there was only 60+ GB remaining. I have not done any downloading of any significance lately. My desktop has 1 terabyte of storage divided in 2 disks, 500 GBs each. The disk showing the loss is where I have stored Steam and my racing games. Any ideas?
BTW, this has happened before. I have Windows 10

Install it, run it. Find out where you have folders that have way too much content. Delete.
You might also find fun stuff like a hugenormous google chrome cache, old nVidia driver-backups, game recordings you didnt mean to record etc.
 
In folder options untick "Hide protected operating system files "
Then go to each partition and click on all Recycle bins you may find
space if there is multiple recycle bins on 1 partition
You can safety delete all recycle bins apart from the latest

P.S. To change back tick the same box 2 times ( for user and all users )

I use Spacesniffer when stuff like this happens, just make sure to run it as Admin.
Oh, and it's absolutely free.
