Why it's a puzzle
Freeing space is a knapsack problem: pick the items whose combined size is at least 212 GB while keeping the total "pain" as low as possible. Computers solve it exactly with dynamic programming, and this game does too, so every level knows the kindest possible answer. You just have to read people. Is "Platinumed, but Aloy is my girl" a delete? Is a game you've "never launched" safe to bin when the note says friends want to play it Saturday?
