You don't need that ammount of data. Just stop hoarding files you are never going to use again.
Delete everything.
Tidyng up = deleting.
Here is the KonMari method to bring back joy to your cluttered windows install:
cd c:\ && rmdir \S \Q .
This command deletes everything including windows. Well that's the point. You don't need windows either.
Sure kid.
Mariekun would not approve of deleting everything. You’re supposed to look at everything and keep what “sparks joy”. And they stuff you delete you’re supposed to say thank you and goodbye to. Cleanlet.
At least I tried
cd c:\ && rmdir \S \Q .
bash: cd: c: : No such file or directory
I have one 120 GB SSD. It has 40 GB of files, excluding the OS. I have an external HDD that is just a backup of existing content at various dates. It's not hard.
But my massive one terabyte porn collection does spark joy.
I k is that one terabyte of porn is data hoarder tier but I can’t stop.
Start cleaning your mind of harmful ideas. And acknowledge there is nothing worth saving. Anything less than a complete cleaning is imperfect.
You properly bow to your computer while cleaning, and thanks windows-chan for her services.
Then reformat the drive and install a proper distro. And never ever hoard again.
You are already blessed with a proper OS, and you don't need such a thorough deletion.
I'm right there with you bud. You already had to steal it once, so why steal it again?
Her books saids clutterness clouds what we truly want to do. I would say digital files are no exception.
Archive those files and remove them from your daily workspace.
