how do i stop my c drive from constantly filling up

i seriously can't take it anymore i keep having to delete more photos and more games that have to be on the c drive because every time i free up space, it instantly gets filled again. i have no idea what to do, it's like i'll free up 2 more gb of space just for 3 days later, it to all be gone. i cant even use excel and word, stuff i need for school, because it just keeps on filling up. no matter how much i look in the storage, and on these posts, and on youtube videos, nothing seems to work, the 200 gb of space is always full and i don't know how to stop it. please help me out here.

Try below Solutions:
1. Click "Settings" -> "System" -> "Storage".
Click "C:" Drive to see what categories (e.g., System, Apps, Temporary Files) are consuming space.
Delete the files/apps you no longer need.
2. Press "Windows + R" in Run dialog, type "%temp%".
Delete all files in the folder.
3. Go to "Settings" -> "Apps" -> "Installed Apps" and uninstall games or programs you rarely use.
Few other solutions:
Empty Recycle Bin: Files stay there until permanently deleted.
Clear Browser Cache: Open your browser’s settings and clear cache/history.
Run Disk Cleanup Weekly:
Open CMD as Administrator
Type "chkdsk"
