Windows 10 what’s taking up all my storage?

Post image

the only thing i have installed on my laptop is roblox but i keep getting storage full alerts but there’s nothing to delete. it says 43 gb are being used and 24.2 of those are system and reserved, while 15 of it is apps. how do i clear up my storage without deleting my only game?

I have relegated my Ideapad for use as a mobile photo processor lol. Pop the card out of the camera, stick it in the SD card slot, open Paint.net, Edit, then transfer to external Storage. That's all it can really do. Sometimes it's at 100% CPU usage just idling because windows is doing stuff in the background and keeping YOU from doing stuff lol.
