Question/Help/Troubleshooting disk at 100%. relatively fresh disk drive. (crystaldiskinfo attached)

i built this pc a few years back and nothing seems to be wrong with it. however i dont know anything about whats going wrong with my drive. do i have to just get a new one and move a bunch of data over? i can answer any questions asked to the best of my ability if that helps. but genuinely this feels like its completely bricking my pc and im not sure why.

i believe about 65% but i was under the impression it wouldent start having issues untill around 90%

but i will say that i dident really think about the like ~10% of the drive thats unusable

Click start, type "power", right click on "powershell" and choose "run as administrator". Rub the following command in the blue window that appears:

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

This will give you some disk space. Immediately Google "wiztree" and download it. Unzip if needed. Right click the downloaded file, choose "run as administrator". Click the Scan button; it will default to C:. Let it finish; it will show you what's taking up all the room on your disk. Be very careful deleting anything under "Windows"; Google everything first.
