Hi,

Most of the time space on the drive are consumed by temporary files, logs, and other data that your computer is using. You can remove these files to free up some memory. Please follow the steps below:

Delete temporary files:

• Type in Disk Cleanup on Search bar, and open it.
• On the pop-up window, you will Files to delete. You can select files that you want to remove to free up space.
  
• Click Ok.

If you need to free up more space, you can also delete system files:

• 
  In Disk cleanup, select Clean up system files.
  
• 
  Select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.

back up files to free up space

Hi JMSab,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. How much free space does the customer have on C:\ Drive?
2. What is the complete error message about Xbox?
3. Do the other partitions still have free space?

If you are running low disk space, you can use tools built into Windows 10 to clean up junk files, apps, and games you never use to optimize the space you already have, I suggest you to follow the article on

Free up drive space in Windows 10 and
How to Upgrade to the latest Windows 10 Feature Update on a Drive with Limited Space.

To change or move the location of your User Folder follow the below steps.

1. Open File Explorer.
   
2. Click Quick Access if it isn’t open.
   
3. Select the user folder that you want to change to select it.
   
4. Click the Home tab on the Ribbon. The Home tab is displayed.
   
5. In the Open section, click Properties.
   
6. In the Folder Properties window, click the Location tab.
   
7. Click Move.
   
8. Browse to the new location you want to use for this folder.
   
9. Click Select Folder.
   
10. Click OK. You’re asked to confirm that you want to move all files from the old location to the new location.
    
11. Click Yes and wait for the files to be moved to the new location.
    
12. Close File Explorer. The next time you start File Explorer, the user folder will appear in the new location.
    

I also suggest you to refer this video article on Low Disk Space, follow this article on
