Is there a way to receive more storage space?

As you can see most of the storage space is taken on by mostly windows stuff and I want to know if theres anyway I can receive more storage space by deleting big unnecessary files that I don't need.

    Hello BodhiSunridge.

    Execute the Windows Disk Cleanup tool as administrator and scan the disk: check the result and see what can be deleted to release some disk space.
    You can also use a tool like TreeSize to have a comprehensive picture of the way the disk's storage is used and decide what can be removed.

    Bye.

    You can open the Start menu and type in Disk Cleanup - start it and click Clean Up System Files, then check all the things and folders you want it to clean and press Okay. That will delete unused and old Windows files, just be careful not to delete your Downloads folder.

    You could also go to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp, press ctrl+a and then shift+del - those are temporary files that you don't need. If some of them are currently being in use, Windows will ask you what to do with them - just skip them.
