Why have I not this little space on my C drive?

I just did a disk cleanup and even a sigverif just to be sure. I also went through and deleted tons of things on my computer that I don't have. Now, I'm down for the most part. Microsoft Office, CCleaner, Kingsoft Antivirus and some Java and Adobe add ons. So why only should I 3.83 GB off 73.0 GB left? I went and manually deleted some temporary files like eula.1028 and instal.res.1028.dll and vs_red as disk cleanup did not. After I did it, I went from having 4.05 GB of free space to 3.83 GB of free space. Disk Cleanup had freed me .02GB of space and I thought it was helping until I manually deleted these temporary files and now its display I have less space. Then why they have so little space and why my space went down when I manually deleted temporary files? FYI, I have only a small folder of word documents and images. I don't have videos or music on my lap top. Its a Toshiba and its quite old, but my tech guy put Windows 7 on it. I wonder if maybe it's too much for an old laptop? If I'm not mistaken it is maybe a 2007.

Too bad. Apparently my tech guy left a windows.old folder on the computer when he last helped me. Who has released a TON of space.
