Managing storage on Great Wall GW3300 256GB for Silksong?

This 256GB Great Wall GW3300 is a total nightmare for space anxiety; after the OS install, I'm barely left with half the drive, which is ridiculous. While playing Silksong, as soon as the free space dipped below 15%, write amplification kicked in and my frame times started dancing between 10-100ms—it was like watching a slideshow. I tried uninstalling every useless app I owned, but system temp files were still hogging 20GB, which felt like a complete waste of my life. I finally used a pro tool to deep-clean the shader cache and migrated the virtual memory to a secondary HDD to take the I/O pressure off the main drive. My latency analyzer showed disk response times plummeting from 40-120ms to a crisp 12-25ms, and the stuttering finally stopped. I did get a blue screen immediately after moving the page file, but it stabilized after I reconfigured the BCD boot entries. Temps are 42-48℃ with speeds barely hitting 2000MB/s. Exported the logs and the lag is gone.
