As a first step, I would run the built-in Disk Cleanup tool (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cleanmgr).
It won't remove anything vital, and it will often free some space after a Windows update (once you are confident you won't need to roll back any recent system updates).
