Q: Just Freed Space, Now MacBook is full

I have a MacBook Pro from 2010 that's always run great. Last week it slowed down to near unusable speed, so I bought a program called CleanMyMac 3 to help free up space, even though I had 20 something free gigs of space so I didn't think that was the issue. But the program got me to around 64 gigs of free space and my Mac was running a lot better so I was satisfied. Now, several days later, my MacBook is back to being near unusable it's so slow and I have less than a gig of space available. I have no idea how it happened, I've barely used my MacBook the last week because it had been slow so CleanMyMac is the only new variable that's been introduced over that time. I have no idea how those free 64 GB were suddenly filled. I haven't been downloading anything or creating anything new, CleanMyMac and the internet are basically all I've used. Any idea for what happened and what could help is appreciated.

MacBook Pro, iOS 10
