Bought a laptop with "32" gigs, Ii only installed about 1.5 gigs worth of outside programs, installed Windows updates, and this shyt has only 6 gigs left. :dahell:

I got rid of a few things in the apps and programs page, but it did nothing. Disc cleanup didn't do shyt.

How can I free up space if I don't know what to get rid of? :why:

I waana get at least 10-15 gigs free.

Man 32 gbs lol.. anyway an easy way to see what you have that taking up space, is to open it up the drive and in the search bar (to the top right) type size:gigantic. When its done finding everything, you have to right click in the window and do sort by > size and the files will be sorted from largest to smallest. So you can get rid of things you don't need (that you know is yours) and not something important.

To note.. like everyone else is saying.. you probably wont get that back IF its only windows related stuff. My OS (windows 10) is on a 120 gb SSD and I have about 28 left.. its only the OS and a few programs I want opening faster.
