Windows 10: Storage on a HP device

So I have a windows 10 "Home" HP laptop, and I'm having trouble updating it. It's been acting up for a while(screen turning black and going back to normal after being shut off, the mouse spazzes out sometimes at night, ect.)


I had gotten a USB/driver not to long ago and moved most of my stuff they, including my art stuff and a recording software.

I remember it said that I needed to get rid of 2.14 GB but I have 3.39 GB cleaned now. and now it's demanding to get rid of 1.57 more GB.

Plus when it "helps" me to clear up stuff, even though I deleted things like temporary files, it always comes back! like what I do doesn't matter, and I don't even have apps downloaded onto my computer, its all on my driver!


Anyways,I don't know what I can uninstall from my computer that was already up there (for example: HP related things) or whatever and its starting to annoy me. So, hopefully you have some advice for me i'm not sure how long I can keep calm about this.

:)
