Windows 10: free up space

As expected, my brand new laptop came pre loaded with a bunch of system programs/apps games ect. I have only done online browsing and only downloaded a word document. Besides the fact that I got this laptop for work and need to download some apps to keep me organized, the laptop has been trying to do an update but cannot because it needs more space. I cannot tell which apps/ programs are not being used and are safe to uninstall. I Also have tried uninstalling a few (like xbox app) and its still popping up on my windows menu. Ideally id like the whole thing empty and clean (even in appearance) so I can make a fresh start with just what I really need.

Was commenting on the pic in post #21. Not suggesting anything. It just looked like the step you were doing was incomplete.
