Go to the library and right-click books you don't use, then click "remove from this device." If you put "type:media OR type:course" in the library pane and remove those resources you will probably find those video resources are the ones taking up the most space. You can hold down CTRL or CMD and click multiple books, then right click them and remove them all from your device. They will still show up in an all search and can be downloaded again at any time.

There are 2700 resources.... Do I have to click on each one individually?

no, the standard multiple select techniques work on Windows.

No, as stated above. But let me show you resources over 200 MB in size:

Lexham Geographic commentaries
resources with maps/atlases e.g. Carta, ESV Bible Atlas, especially BiblicalPlacesMaps (400 MB).
ESV Study Bible or ESV Global Study Bible Notes (but, I would never delete the first one).

If it is too daunting, the other option is to uninstall Logos and reinstall it, but to select "download minimal resources" or something like that, then download the ones you want instead of having them all and deleting the ones you don't.

If you're worried about 25 GB of space, you might be surprised to know that you can get a 512 gb SSD and upgrade your existing computer for about $50.

Good advice, I'll probably do that with my laptop.

As I understand, adding the SSD is not enough, but Logos data has to be in the C:\ drive in the PC. Therefore, reinstalling also the operating system is needed?

Logos can be installed on drives other then C:\ ... I have a large SSD divided into two partitions C:\ and \. At installation, instead of using the default location, I selected the option to install Logos in \logos. This put the Logos folders into \logos.

If you have used Mobile Ed courses videos you will have gobbled up a lot of MB. Logos tech helped me with this issue a while back, saying there is a folder that can be safely deleted. But sorry to say, I don't remember which folder it is. They will help if you call.
