Do you use hibernation of this computer ? 

If not then http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/819-hibernate-enable-disable.html

Next open the users and screen shot that

Avast NG is using 13 Gb (unless you have VMware installed)

The vast majority of files are in your user account so it may be worth seeing what is in there and deleting the ones that are taking up the most space (if you do not need them)

All I can think of is temporary files, do you have your browsers set to empty them on close ?

Windows updates does have backup copies of files on the system, these can be removed by using disc clean-up in elevated mode you can also remove old restore points that way

Yep... 

Without system restore I hope you have a backup image of your windows drive

Download Avast Uninstall Utility to your Desktop.
Download the correct version of Avast 
Avast Free
Avast Pro
Avast Internet Security
Avast Premier
Disconnect from the net
Uninstall Avast via control panel

  • Run the uninstall tool and accept the reboot to safe mode
  • Once complete reboot your system
  • Reinstall Avast
