My disk is almost full and constantly complaining it's full.
It seems to happen with Microsoft updates but I'm not sure.

You're deleting what Windows says is safe to delete. Beyond that,
check where the bloat is. Do you need it? I use a simple VBScript
that checks folder sizes throughout the system. From that I discovered,
for instance, that my firewall keeps a log of limitless size. You might
have office files, etc. Many people have ridiculously big photos,
saving 40 shots of their granddaughter's 2nd birthday, at 5 MB each,
making no effort to organize, resize or cull their photos.
Internet files are IE/Edge cache. Set the cache to almost zero.
Cache is an outdated function. Websites almost never send a 304
response anymore because pages are generated dynamically, so
they're always new, even if they haven't changed in 5 years. I
set cache on all browsers to 10MB. When you do that, make sure
you also clear all saved Internet files, twice, in each browser.
By far the biggest problem is update backups and the winsxs folder.
Winsxs is what allows Microsoft to pretend that updates and
hardware installs are effortless. When you install Windows, MS puts the entire install disk, with all drivers, into winsxs as backup. You get no choice in the matter. You can remove things you don't need, but there
are 10s of thousands of files. Just removing files that obviously don't
match your processor (AMD or Intel) could take hours. Once you start
running, Winsxs grows. Whenever Windows gets its hands on any kind
of drivers or update files, it copies them to winsxs. After some experimenting I did once when updating Vista to 7 (80 GB of useless
crap!) I decided to keep disk images of all new systems. Win10 disk
image spans 3 DVDs, if I remember correctly, with setup and basic
software installed. (The same for XP is about 1400 MB with all software installed.) When the whole thing gets unwieldy I just put
in a backup. But I also block auto-updating, so my systems are not
so crapped up. I don't know of any better solution: Reinstall fresh. Set
it up. Make disk images.... There should be a utility where you could
just check off things you don't need and have all related files deleted
from winsxs, but I don't know of any such thing. Ideally it would
just have checkboxes: Intel? Delete. HP? Delete. Samsung? Delete.
LP? Asus? NVidia? Delete, delete, delete. If you don't have the
hardware, you don't need the drivers.

you visit a web page so you can't stop those being created or you wouldn't be able
to browse the web and the same applies to most of the other file types in that
list.
In fact looking at your image I'd say that deleting all the files there will make
very little difference if you're getting complaints about disk space.
Correct.
If running out of room...constant deletion of temp files will not help.
Either clone to a larger drive ...or add a 2nd drive. Move your data there and store new data.
