There are a lot of priors about full drive C issues but start with TREESIZE and tell me if you tried the old turn off and back on the System Restore feature as well as disk cleanup.

Once it happened to me twice and I was unable to do anything. I was told to format it in the first time and all was okay but my C drive data was got formatted so from next time I stopped keeping my data in C drive. But again due to the overload of data in it, showed that error again and again given for formatting. After that, I started installing my new software in D drive and now no more facing problems.
