    a) Press key Win+ R and Type ' Cleanmgr' press Enter key

    b) Select C drive and click on 'Clean up system files'.

    c) Here you will select unnecessary files and you can clean files

    3- If You have personal files in your C drive than you have to move to another drive You can also redirect some folders like Desktop, Document and Downloads to another drive so Right click on these folders, go to Properties and click on Location tab and you can set a new path on a different drive.
