deleted as much as I could but I still have over 90% gone

Question

I have deleted everything I could without deleting essential files, but I still have almost no storage space! it's honestly frustrating because all I really have is Roblox and the opera gx browser and not much else that should be taking up space (at least that it's showing). I tried different apps like this thing called geekboy which needed me to pay an outrageous fee, and other cleanup apps as well as the built-in features. I'm honestly confused what to do next, because this really should've been a simple process, but it seems like it's been harder than it should be. please help!

Hii ,

This situation could be a software issue, such as an app or update.

I recommend you do the following: type the command diskcleanup in the search bar and click OK. Select the C drive > Select the "Clean up system files" option > tick all options except the "Downloads" folder and click "OK".

Then, download the Treesize app from the link below and run it as an administrator. Select the C drive option and wait for it to finish loading. It will show you where spaces (application names) exist, enter the folder or file name here.

I think the real eater is those hidden restore‑blocks… open System Protection and slide the max‑usage down once, the stuck gigs drop back in a sec… if it still feels jammed, run treesize as admin and clear only the top temp / win‑update chunks it shows.
