Question Windows error "Not enough space on C:" ?

[USAFRet]

Disk 1, the E drive, labeled Samsung SSD.

What specific model drive is that?
A Samsung solid state drive?

And what, exactly, is on it?

OK then...an actual SSD.
A potential good candidate for a clone operation.

Again ... what, exactly is on this drive?

And also, the D drive, the 1TB HDD.

There are program and data on this drive. I could possibly move them to another drive.

Both drives have program and data, photos, and other files.

OK.
Now we, actually you, have a problem.

If it were only 'data', this would be easy.

But the current OS has references to Programs being on the D and E drives.
This is not easy to simply undo, or clone.

Are you willing and able to reinstall whatever Programs live on the E drive, the Samsung SSD?

Looking at the programs, yes, I can uninstall on the E: and reinstall on the D: drive. I assume I can install some of those programs on an external too?

Slow down a bit.

Yes, 'unstall'. This will hopefully remove any references int he Registry to those applications.
Do NOT install on the D yet.

What your looking to do is, eventually, fully wipe the E drive.

First, copy ALL of the personal data to the D, or the external.
Not applications, just your files.

Verify at least twice, that you have everything.

Get that done, and then we will look into cleaning off that E drive.

I'll start that now. Delete all data, leave the apps.
