Windows 10: Resuscitated a family computer...it needs some software help!

Hey guys, apologies if this is in the wrong place, but quick backstory : a family member just recently got their PC fixed(had to replace their GPU). It's a pretty low range PC nowadays as its got a few years under it(about 10). After I replaced his GPU I noticed the entire thing is filled to the brim with just stuff. Including programs from the old gpu(went to an amd from nvidia)

As I generally only use my PC for work I dont have a bunch of bloat on it, and to be frank not much of a windows user.

What I'm trying to do is the following:

• Remove unwanted programs COMPLETELY(ensure previously uninstalled programs did so fully)
• Clean up their backups/pictures(2 hdds and 1 ssd, both hdds seem to have multiple 10+k photo backups[phones, laptops, computers etc] with some duplicates of pictures totaling 5+)
• What I would prefer to do is dump all the photos and docs into one HDD and delete the duplicates and then reorganize them better, anything that can automate this?
• Run any recommend cleanup or maintenance programs{my understanding is CCcleaner is now a no go? im pretty outdated here}

I'm doing this as a favor to the family in my down time.
