Windows 10: C: drive almost full, need to delete stuff but what

I did as search of *.* on the C drive and the biggest file is 134 G and it says it is Desktop 2023.01.03 - 20.26.01.mp4. Then there are 2 lesser similar names desktop of 13.2G and 11.7G. Are these some kind of files monitoring my desktop use or something. What would be doing that. Seems I should delete?

That reduced System Volume Information to 662 KB, left $GetCurrent at 3.8 GB which is called media when clicking the little arrow. Storage sense or Disk cleanup gave no reference to $GetCurrent, and the [2 files] are pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys.

I will thank everyone and mark this thread as solved, I now have over 27 GB of free space on my C: drive, it must just slowly get down to size where Windows warned me with a red "flag" when viewing This PC.

 

My c drive is a lot small than before. Is their a way to put the partitions i used for linux back in to my c drive.
