SSD full, 2GB left of 256G. Would like to move files and change default download location to 2TB HDD

I bought the Envy 27 IN all in one B2XX last week.

256 SSD almost full .

2TB HDD almost empty. I am wondering where and how to move some files, not programs and change the default download location? does the PC automatically move?

thank you.

Here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

In addition, I have found the utility Cleanmgr+ to have LOTS of options for removing Windows junk, including log files. I use it practically every day. You can get it from here: https://www.getclone.app/download/category/11-cleanmgr

Also, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html

As to changing the downloads location, see this:  https://www.pcmobitech.com/change-default-downloads-folder-location-windows-10/

I really appreciate helpful solutions you provided. Being my pc is new, i do not have much junk. I would like to move some large files such as apps, photos and videos  to my D drive 1.8 TB free and switch Microsoft store download location to D drive for future downloads. Thoughts? Should I right click in file explorer on photos and move and change location there? is that the best way? thanks again
