The capacity of my laptop's harddrive almost full and I would like to delete some files.

What is the best practices to clean harddrive?

Any clean up will probably get rid of around 3 Gig's,make sure Windows upgrade is ticked in Disk Cleanup as there could be 2/3 Gig's here

Time for a bigger Drive

"Best Practise" is not to clutch at straws & get a bigger HD, or remove all the photos, games, movies & music :)
Its a sign you HD is too small, trying to free up some space by removing tmp files etc is often not a long term solution .
Some early SSD's were simply far too small for real world use as a single drive .
