    There will be pending and post system updates on the disk. You should delete them with the disk cleanup utility to free up the space.

    Windows 11 comes with a free disk clean app. You can use it to spot the junk and cache files.

    Use Disk Cleanup Utility: Search for Disk Cleanup from the Start Menu to remove temporary files, old Windows updates and unnecessary system files.
    Manage restore points: Manage or delete old restore points to free up space by going to System Properties > System Protection > Configuration.
    Clean up temporary files: Temporary files generated by browsers, installers and applications can take up space. In addition to using Disk Cleanup, you can use third-party tools such as CCleaner to remove these files.
    Find and delete large files and folders: Check your C drive regularly and delete forgotten large files or folders to free up more space.
