I just checked mine and it is at 33 GB. Are you running a fresh installation? Do you have very many MS development tools installed?

I know in the past, any Windows updates would be cached in your windows directory forever and there was no safe way to remove them. That would gradually grow the windows directory size forever. Also, it seems there are a lot of files that get thrown in there when you start installing multiple versions of SQL Server or Visual Studio.

Right-click on the drive -> Properties -> General.

Disk Clean-up.

Clean-up System Files.

Windows Update Clean-up (and Temporary Windows installation files).

Ok. Ok.

Enjoy.
