If you're trying to free up space to install Windows Updates, then @banhien is correct and you need to read through the thread that he linked for you -- as a lot is involved in that.

But, if all you want to do is free us some disk space, here are some things you can do:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

Finally, 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
