How to remove deleted files from hard drive capacity

Hi. New to forum. Not sure if question has been answered, but ...


I bought a new Windows 10 computer a few months ago, and was so pleased to see my 500 GB SSD drive with so much free space. I wanted to keep it that way, so whenever I downloaded a program or file and decided I didn't need it anymore, I deleted it into the Recycle Bin, then emptied the bin, or uninstalled it via the Control Panel menu. I assumed it would disappear from memory and increase my "free" memory available. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be doing that. My Drive C: Local Disc free memory is not decreasing. It just keeps accumulating. See image below. I've tried cleaning up the disc, but almost all of the programs I downloaded, then chose to delete, are still be reflected in the Disc C: menu below. Is there a way to get that free memory back?
