Err I'm running Windows 8 on a 32Gb HP Stream 7. Heaps of music, and 3 movies, and the recovery partition and still have 17GB free. What causes your install to grow so much?

And you can clean that stuff up with the disk cleanup app. You don't need to retain those old install files forever.

That will clear out Service Packs and some uninstaller files, it won't clean up WinSXS.

Have you gone through these commands? AFAIK, windows will do it automatically on small disk systems.
