The C: Drive Expedition: Surveying 452 Gigabytes and a False Alarm

A 465 GB C: drive had only 14 GB left. Layer-by-layer robocopy measurement punctured two illusions: the Users directory showing 812 GB of logical size beyond the disk total, and Google Play Games virtual disk image marked 512 GB — the truth is a sparse file occupying just 4 GB. The encoding pitfall (PowerShell reading UTF-8-without-BOM scripts as ANSI) was filled too. NetEase Cloud Music cleared its 10 GB cache; space returned to 26 GB.
