Just hit up the file manager on your Steam Deck, find the files you no longer need, and hit delete. It's basically like cleaning your room, but way faster and less tiring.
Hot take: Keep everything! You never know when you'll need those files again. But if you absolutely must, deleting is as simple as a right-click and 'Delete'. But really, why delete when you can hoard?
Just delete stuff like you would on any PC. Right-click -> Move to Trash -> Empty trash. Done and dusted!
From my own experience, it's straightforward. Boot into desktop mode, right-click the file, and select 'Move to Trash.' After, empty your trash bin to free up space.
