Problems with OneDrive eating up too much space on C

I have problems with OneDrive eating too much space on my C drive. I use OneDrive as my computer doesn't have that much HDD space to begin with. I am trying to buy some time until I can afford a better solution.
Does anyone know how to convice OneDrive to use less space on the C drive?

Make files you don't need online only.
How do I do that?
Right-click on an item, and uncheck "Always keep on this device". You can also select Free Up Space to automate the process a bit more.
