Which files can I delete? There is no room.

AFAIK, the files in AppData> Roaming are layouts. I would not delete them,

AppData> Local contains has pre-rendered files.. if created, they can be cleared from within VP if so desired. Rendering would take longer longer though in many cases

I think I do not need them any more and there is no place on C. What is about old version folder - VEGAS Pro \ 16.0? Can I delete it with no problem?

If you no longer need VP16 then uninstall. Do not simply delete, they are different processes.

There is no VEGAS Pro 16 in Control Panel > Uninstall a program. Only VEGAS Pro 17.

All of those files you show in your screengrabs are very small. Will not make any difference as far as rendering space for video. You need to delete the unused large files.

Those files aren't taking up much space.

You *can* delete all those files (do it with VP closed) and it will have the effect of clearing a number of caches that VP uses. You sometime have to do this if you change installed plugins or a video driver radically changes.

Start with free Duplicate File Finder.

In the meantime start looking for a 2TB portable drive for around $50.

Is there a additional folder where the program creates temporary files?

As it was already mentioned, the files you shown are tiny. You have to do some system cleanup.

The first thing would be to empty Recycle Bin (Right Mouse Click over Recycle Bin | Empty...) and do disk cleanup (Win + E | Right Mouse Click over drive C | Properties | Disk Cleanup. Including system files as quite often backup of previous windows version is sitting on the disk).

Then you can use free program WinDirStat (or similar) to find out what takes the space.

CC Cleaner is highly regarded for cleaning up a PC in general.

Are there any conflicts between this program and VPN or an antivirus software?

@SomeAMan VPN no, AV quite probably.

CCleaner went through a bad stage a year or so ago and got hacked and then caught out forcing bloatware on people. Some AV like Microsoft will warn you that it's untrustworthy software.

I don't think that's true any longer
