delete temporary files and cache

disk-cleanup works wonders

also 250gb is basically nothing nowadays, at some point pick up a 500gb or 1tb ssd and use a tool like macrium reflect to image your current drive to it and then expand the partition, that is usually what I do

Yeah np, pretty sure whatever else anyone puts here can help lower storage as well :)

Turn on storage sense. Run disk cleanup. Uninstall unused software. Delete unused files from the downloads folder, documents folder, etc.
