Hi:

 

Unfortunately, you are limited to the 32 GB eMMC drive the notebook comes with.

 

There are no internal drive expansion possibilities.

 

I recommend that you store any files, pictures, etc., on a SD card and keep the card inserted in your notebook's SD card slot.

Unfortunately, @Paul_Tikkanen is right about your model laptop -- it is stuck with its limited storage capacity.

 

However, here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

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
