Not enough info - most likely issue is temporary files, particularly restore points (try deleting them).

If you are talking about 'Free space' being less then you may be able to recover disk space by resetting the Component store base. I regained 3.5 GB on my DELL laptop and 3.75 GB on my HP device. It is the folder WinSxS that gets reduced in size but do not delete anything yourself. Only use the command below.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command: -
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
