Your Windows storage is quite substantial—around 50GB, even after clearing temporary files. It’s worth considering removing or archiving older logs and files in the Logs and winsxs folders to free up space on your 240GB SSD without needing a full format.

It doesn’t assist with that. It only removes temporary files, outdated updates, and thumbnails, keeping the total under 1 gigabyte.

Do you have copies ready? If issues arise, you can recover your backups. Usually, logs are safe to remove. When they’re marked as temporary, you can also delete them.

Avoid removing anything in winsxs as it might disrupt the shutdown process and other essential functions.

Verify hibernation settings and assess the size of your pagefile on the OS drive. These tasks are straightforward.
