Storage options for full laptop

[PotatoHeadache]

I've been searching this community and the answers seem helpful so I'm hopeful someone can help me.

I have a ASUS Vivobook E200HA. It came with 32GB of storage. It's full. I've emptied the trash folder, deleted all bloatware, temporary files, downloads, even programs I want to have. It's still full. I can't even run the reset PC option because it needs 6 gb.

I had been saving to a USB drive, but now I can't do that. I'm not sure why. It saves the file name, but no data is transferred. It does this for two USB drives, and for One Drive. I assume it's because the hard drive is full. I also can't run Edge because shortly after I do it crashes, also assumed because storage is full.

What would you folks suggest I do? USB drives? Cloud drives? External hard drive?
I want to be able to run programs (itunes, etc) and there simply isn't space on the hard drive. Also I'm unsure why I can't even save to One Drive or USB drives right now.

Any guidance would be amazing!

Thank you!

did you also empty the recycle bin of the deleted items?

I know. I have the 32GB version. It's full.

upgrade it to the 128gb version as you lost 16 to 20gb to win10 alone never mind the recovery partition if it has 1.

did you delete or uninstall the programs?

There's no way, that I know of, to upgrade the storage though. It doesnt have a HDD you can swap out. If you know how I can do that, please share!

I've deleted everything, uninstalled everything and compressed everything.

the hdd in yours is a ssd type that looks like desktop ram but with the connector on 1 end not on the side.

even tho not your laptop version, it should be similar enough. https/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqx0-g3URiI

Another option you could do if you don't want to swap out the ssd is to set up network storage or use cloud based storage. A lot of routers now days have a USB port to plug in an external hard drive.
