Hello, I'm writing because I have a ThinkPad laptop, but I only have 9 gigabytes of storage space left. Is there a way to increase this space for someone who knows nothing about computers?

Thanks

Run Windows Disk Cleanup tool.

Buy some external storage and back up what you aren't using.

Op here; I've already done this several times, the problem is that what's taking up space are my drawing software and my Steam games, and I don't want to delete them.

I wanted to recommend you something but since you don't know anything about computers then it would be better to do what >>1556114 said. Storage prices increased in the last few months and they are not gonna get cheaper any time soon but small ssd drives 128 or 256GB are still affordable. If you're planning to use this drive for a while then buy one with at least 512GB and not the shitties/cheapest one.

If for backup purposes, op can go for hdd. It's way cheaper and durable compared to ssd. https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-Drive-Black/dp/B092R5KTT7?c=ts&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.S2hCK0YdzapIc9FndBeHf7LayosWr1LXxFn7PnlbjfkILSo5a0gvXim6Y3b4K700ffby1nuGfRgDk0JmRntFkJ6_YMhGFxnwYpUMdSTuyN9-2HzGqwvuZAZGQEJcjf93h_iRkwhVs-56tpiy3c_DOYc1kixwk04-PpzDr0_BZd_kdlFQHTpEV7FrQ5PmNchJGGDwwX4w6oTfqOWSEpG-VA.sofNU2XQ48WGLUh7ooriarJvFOVLJ7EXbC_xUA0_tkM&dib_tag=se&keywords=External+Hard+Drives&qid=1769866832&s=pc&sr=1-7&ts_id=595048
