Hi.

In this case there must be 19 GB freespace on C disk but there ise 7,77 GB freespace. I cleared TEMP, Forefront logs but problem not resolved. What may be problem

Can you describe how you measured the size of all of the folders in disk C ?
I’d go back to the simple things in life. Where did you store your pagefile?
you do not have permissions to access some folders and thats the reason you cannot get correct size.
use some tool like treeview and run it as administrator , you will get good results
also try windirstat , make sure you run as admin
I have recently written a blog post explaining what WINSXS is and how you can clean it up with Microsoft tools or thirdy part tools. You can have a look at it here: http://www.happysysadm.com/2010/10/windows-2008-space-issue-and-winsxs.html
