How do I free up space on my C drive? When I do the basics my pc says not enough space to delete?

But isn't that the point of wanting to delete programs/hardware not used? Is there a way around that? I just don't get it....I am trying to free up space but they are telling me I can't because there is no space to free up, no ish Sherlock that's why I need to delete. Somebody save me from this Matrix World!

To delete files and skip the recycle bin, when you delete a file, just hold down one of the shift keys.
