You're mixing terms and that is making the situation confusing/ There is "disk space" and "memory" and the two are completely different. Disk space fills up as you load programs and save data. Memory does not fill up, as it is temporary.
Here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

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
