Try the old search and find method. Look through the folders on the main drive checking the properties of each folder for something that will be about 30gb. Of course the Windows and Program Files folders will be the biggest amount from the initial install. Temp folders for Windows, Internet Browsers, OS Backups (Control Panel>Backup and Restore>Manage Space) would be folders to look in. Not sure how you cleaned up before but try Drive Cleanup Tool by running (Win Key + R) cleanmgr.exe.
