Free disk space with a category review

When storage is low, begin by finding what occupies it. The largest category can suggest a better next step than a random cleanup.

1. Open the system's storage overview and record available space. Review categories such as applications, temporary files and personal files before choosing one to address.
2. Uninstall an unused application through the supported app-management tools, after checking whether you need its local projects or settings. Do not delete program folders by hand.
3. For temporary-file cleanup, read the selected categories and their explanations. Exclude downloads, recovery material or other items you still need rather than accepting every checkbox.
4. Move valuable large files only after confirming a usable backup. Remember that deleting a synchronized file can also remove its cloud copy.

Check free space again and stop when the immediate need is met. Review the recycle bin before emptying it, since that removes another recovery option.
