pauseI've had AOMEI Backupper create a log file, many gigabytes in size when doing a backup. This is not normal behaviour, but it is an example of how you can end up with large amounts of data which can be cleaned.
Actually there is. The following is just one example.
Your problem is a lot bigger than gigabytes of removable data from your Downloads folder. Stop using driver update software.
I've been using driver update software for 14 years and am not going to stop using it now, just because you think its a bad idea. I find using driver update software a lot quicker and easier to download and install any missing drivers, after doing a clean install of Windows, than manually finding, downloading and installing the needed drivers.
I didn't mean to offend you, I am not singling you out by any means. It is a pretty widely shared sentiment that driver update software does more harm than good. I've personally bricked my system a few times using driver update software before learning my lesson. Always trust your manufacturer and Windows Updates more than automated software with possible third-party drivers.
I know that driver update software can cause problems. But, I know how to fix any issues if they arise. Even in the rare case that a bad driver update makes my system unbootable, I can fix it, without having to reinstall Windows or restore my system from a working backup.
Don't some driver updater actually download from the manufacturer?
They use the drivers provided by the hardware manufacturer. Some such as Wise Driver Care and DriverHub, often provide drivers provided by the computer manufacturer, in preference to drivers provided by the device maker. So for example, on some of my HP ProBooks, Wise Driver Care will download the HP's IDT audio driver, rather than a generic one from IDT. This is actually a good thing, as the HP driver has SRS sound enhancements and without that enabled, the sound from the laptop speakers, lacks bass.

Cleaning the registry will not cause any harm, if only unneeded registry keys are deleted. It is (usually) very easy to tell if a registry key is needed or not.
By looking at what registry keys are going to be deleted, usually I can tell if the keys are needed or not. If I can see that a registry cleaner wants to delete any needed keys, I won't let it remove anything.
