How to free up space on the device?

My Jolla is complaining about free space all the time and I know my Spotify playlists take up a huge portion of that but that's not what I would like to remove if there's something else that could be removed.

I can't seem to get a good overview on what can be done about the situation. I have deleted videos, mp3's and gone through all the folders that can be seen using Windows Explorer because I can't access it using Linux Mint other than via SSH. Usually I use WinDirStat/KDirStat or a similar app to find out what could be deleted. I think it's pretty cumbersome to try to find out what /data/data/com. folders can be removed too. 16GB has already been consumed and I haven't got that may offline playlists. I have about 4 pages with apps but most of them are just really simple and small ones.

Can something be transferred to MicroSD if I get one? I'm not sure if a factory reset is the answer either. It could be a workaround for a month or two.

"There's an app for that". No there isn't.

I know this is kind of related to the MTP and USB Storage questions.
