I am trying to free up a lot of space on my computer, but am unable to find where exactly most of my space is taken up. The storage statistics on my computer tell me that Ubuntu is using 115 GB of space and I can't figure out how to free it. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.5 on Windows 11. I have included the output from df -h:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/sdb        251G   22G  217G  10% /none            1.9G  4.0K  1.9G   1% /mnt/wsltools           225G  217G  8.4G  97% /initnone            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /devnone            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /runnone            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /run/locknone            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /run/shmnone            1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /run/usertmpfs           1.9G     0  1.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroupdrivers         225G  217G  8.4G  97% /usr/lib/wsl/driverslib             225G  217G  8.4G  97% /usr/lib/wsl/libdrvfs           225G  217G  8.4G  97% /mnt/c

I am not sure about how to access the file systems listed that take up 217 GB and what is safe to delete. Apologies for the novice question, I am not an expert user.

Thank you!
