Have a 256GB SSD(
) and I have only ~10-15 GB empty right now which I want to keep. My options are uninstalling ones I'm not playing right now since I have the iso on the HDD anyway or installing some new games on the HDD itself.

I hate to be that guy but have you considered buying another SSD?

Wait so like, you got a 256gb esata or nvme or some shit and a 2.5in HDD? Could buy a sata to USB adapter, buy a large sata SSD, image/clone the HDD to the new SSD, and then install the new SSD inside. Would be a bit more of a pain in the butt and expensive than other solutions but you'd be able to keep your data and avoid reinstalling anything.

Never opened it cause that'd void warranty so don't know what's inside. Tho I guess warranty must be over by now. HDD is external BTW, probably should have specified that. It can write at about 10MB/s so hoping it works. The game unpacks to 30GB and its been 30 min its been unpacking already
Also I just googled and even 1TB SSDs aren't even that expensive. Why did my laptop maker cuck me on the SSD, I'd have paid that much extra for a better SSD but there was no option. Compared to the 256GB SSDs it'd have only increased total cost by 10%. I might actually end up doing that lol, its very annoying dealing with 256GB hard disk space and constantly copying over stuff to the external drive.

All laptop and desktop manufacturers charge waaaaay more than it costs them for more storage (RAM too).
Its easy to replace the internal drive if you go that route. Just like plugging in a light socket (plus a few screws)

Ohhhhh. Yeah. If it's external then nothing I said really applies.
If you can verify the warranty is over you can just clone the internal SSD to something larger with an adapter, just make sure you know the format to get and everything first (sata vs esata vs mpcie vs nvme etc). Might have to move some partitions around afterwards if you're using windows in order to expand the main partition but that isn't too hard either.
