Besides "Storage Sense", and defragmenting the SSD, how can SSD storage space be saved in Windows 11 Home version 21H2?

I've even stopped the "Hybernation Mode" by using the Command Prompt.

That worked great! But, a mere 5 hours later my SSD went from 26.1GB to over 36.8GB used.

I'm very confused and would like assistance in a way I'm able to understand and execute.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

    Without knowing where in the hierarchy of directories and files the space is being consumed it's not possible to give you more than a guess. How about the page file? Your temp directory?

    This will probably run for a while, but it will give you a visual representation of where space is occupied:\
