Windows shows that my SSD has 43GB of free space, upon investigating where it might be being used up i see that "apps" are using up alot of it

Install and run either WinDirStat, or WizTree.

Run as Administrator, selecting only the drive in question.
Post a screencap here.

Also, a screencap of your Disk Management window.

Does this do the job?

Your pagefile and (probably) hibernation is consuming 31GB of the space.
That is not shown in your above "storage" consumption.

Additionally, the .bin files at the bottom left consume 40GB.
What and where are those?
Single click on one of those little squares, and it will tell you where they are.

The bin files are game assets, anyways just using WizTree i located some files and already cleared out over 10GB, anything i can do to reduce the page file?

You can set the pagefile to a smaller size.
For instance, 1GB min, 10GB max

oh right, i completely forgot why my page file existed, it compensates for my low RAM
