    Does Light bakening takes too much space or i'm just imagining things ?? At some time i had 40+ GB space in the C drive and after building my game(Including light Bakening specailly ) now i'm only left with 7 GB of space in C drive........ Is it because of light bakening or i'm just imagining it

    Light baking uses a GI cache. You can check the current size in the editor under "Edit -> Preferences... -> GI Cache". Lightmaps can take up quite a bit of space depending on your lightmap settings, e.g. when using uncompressed directional lightmaps at high resolutions. It all depends on your setup, though.
