Can you provide a screenshot of Disk Management. (the whole window)
Honestly if the system drive is only 57GB it is far too small to run windows 11 effectively. You really need 120GB or better still 256GB.
Hello. I saw your comment, but i have an laptop. And with small memory.
Please provide a screenshot of Disk Management.
base on my experience the quicks why to do it without deleting data is to temporary zero your paging file after reboot the page file allocation in your drive will be free out. don't for get to return it after your done with the update.
I hope you find this helpful

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.
Have you already cleared the Temporary files or not yet?
Do you have another drive where you can move files?
Your drive is almost full, so updates may fail.
In your screenshot.
Start with Temporary files (10.6 GB).
Next, check Installed apps (18.8 GB).
Let me know how it goes. If space is still not enough after that, I can guide you on deeper cleanup.
Click "Add comment" to let me know.

Hi John. I have already done the Temporary File cleanup multiple times. But also i have removed MS Teams, Outlook, the cloud and still no progress. By the way, i only have C: drive and 3 Disk 0's
Hi John. One time it was full (completly full) and i can't even extend it. Only thing i could get Unallocated space is to have another drive. But i have an laptop, so how am i going to get an another drive there?
And removing something is totally small amount of space
