Question Why is my storage always full?

[h3ctxr_1s]

I am new to the computers and trying to learn more about them so I might be a little slow.

But my issue is that in my main hard drive ( C: ) is always full. Because of this I cannot perform important updates to my pc that is needed. I have tried deleting files that were of no importance to me to see if that would fix the issue but it would not even make a dent. I have tried using disk cleanup and other strategies but they have all failed to clean up my storage. Is there other methods that I have not done to help with this problem? Or is there something that is eating up my storage that I am unaware about?

I would appreciate it if someone would help please and thank you.

And so far, we're all just speculating, until we see some actual info. As requested by me in post #16.

I would go 500GB/500GB M.2 2280's if you can. 120gb is way too small when you need more space if your data drive fails. I keep all important apps needed to function regardless on my boot drive.
Most important is to back up the back-ups....

Everyone here is doing their part in providing assistance to break the notion that this thread and it's topic is rocket science. The latter message is not just being conveyed towards the OP but to readers in the same boat as well.

Beautifully said! I completely agree.
