The real solution here is to create a system image with recovery and boot included.
buy a bigger drive, install windows 10, use start up options and restore image back to C:\ and recovery partitions and keep his same OS and files and settings.
Why would it be necessary to buy a bigger drive when the OP already has a terabyte of disk space? Things can be rearranged, but we don't know how they can be rearranged without knowing about the layout.

so what i just need to do is to try what you said to me in the previous answer right ?
120GB is not enough space to sustain a Windows 10 installation in the long run, as you're finding out. Just after your original post I asked for a screenshot of your Disk Management window. The request was apparently lost in the flood of sidetracking replies, but if you could do it now, we might be able to solve your disk space problems.
LOL He showed you, THIS PC shows C and D drive and info, there is nothing he is going to do or accomplish looking in disk management to free up space or provide you anything. he has 3 partitions for boot and recovery and the rest on the little drive is C:\OS.
He can move personal files to D:, he can use disk clean up to free up some space or uninstall some unused programs and that is about it.

LOL sidetracking, you are asking for info that is totally irrelevant and can provide no help or solutions seeing comp management
OK, genius, are there two physical disks or is there one disk with multiple partitions? Can you see where the answer might be relevant to a problem with lack of space on the system drive?
This is not rocket science, it is simple, basic, obvious situation and obvious possible resolutions. LOL
