My Primary Storage Is Always Full: Here's What I'm Doing to Fix the Problem

Summary
To manage storage, the user compresses and archives files that are not accessed frequently and which would otherwise be deleted.
The user recommends 7-Zip for compression, and ZArchiver for Android devices, due to their high compression ratios, small archive file sizes and fast file transfers.
The user also recommends avoiding compression of entire drives and instead compressing specific folders and files, particularly those that are rarely accessed, such as old projects and family photos.
The user also suggests transferring larger files to a NAS (Network Attached Storage) for more flexibility, and removing duplicate files to save space and improve performance.
The user enables Storage Sense in Windows, which automatically cleans up unwanted files and targets specific folders, such as temporary files, the Recycle Bin and previous Windows installations.
The user configures Storage Sense to operate automatically when the device is running low on space, and suggests that users should exclude any important files from automatic cleanup.
