My problem was when I checked the space of my drive C:, I know it has at least 50Gb of free space before, and now it has only 25Gb of free space. so I check the folders that eat a lot of space. I found this:

C:\Users\Yuann\AppData\Local it has 23.2Gb

but it was weird that when I selected all the files and go to their properties, the results are kinda weird:

834Mb

the hidden files are shown and also selected.

I also run Ace Utilities : Remove Junk files

Help guys, i need to retrieve the free space, advance thank you.
