@AnthonyM K I'll leave some tips for when you wake up!

So, if you are on windows try going into Settings then click System, scroll down to Storage. Then once you are there wait for it to add everything up. Then you'll be able to see what takes up the most storage! So if your temporary files take up quite a bit try clearing that but NOT your downloads folder if there's anything in there and also don't clear Delivery Optimization files. That should help a bit, but if you have any unused apps that you don't need or any Microsoft programs you don't use you can uninstall. If you have a lot of photos like drawings or anything, you could try backing them up to google drive and delete them off your pc. Then you can redownload them anytime you need them, but if you don't want to use google drive thats fine! If you have any games downloaded I personally delete ones I haven't played in over 2 months then if I ever want to play them just redownload. But, if you do think you have a virus try using windows security which should just be on your pc upon getting it! So, this will usually show you if you have any virus unless its like a more intense virus, like if you tried downloading anything off the internet and let it change to much in your pc. But those types would normally also slow your pc quite a bit! But, if you still can't聽 clear enough storage you can message me and I could give more personalized specific advice!!!

@Jexxil Ty! I've already had most of the files that I want to keep deleted and sent to my discord from the get go, ive checked and my xbox and steam in the 'other' is what takes up most of that, but my installed apps is whats taking up like 99% of my space and i ALSO realize putting steam games in the recycle bin and deleting whats in the recycle bin doesnt fully work </3

I'm typing this message while I uninstall things and it was literally all my games taking up HALF of my storage because I have 76.0 gb used now, so TYSM!!!
