I did a boot-time run of the chkdsk program on my system C: drive and afterwards it found about 150GB of free space that was previously marked as "in use". This took about 10 minutes.

There were no missing files on the system.

I also found about 30GB of temporary files in the hidden folder C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Temp.

I deleted all of the temp files, skipping the ones that could not be deleted because they were in use.

Just to be sure, I also run "SFC /scannow". That takes about 10 minutes.

System is running without problems.

This. Don’t need any third party product. Just use the tools you already have.
