How can I clean up disk space on PS4? - Close-up View Of Air Bubbles In A Liquid

I am running out of space on my PS4 1TB. I'm like about 800GB occupied and just few tenths of GB left considering some space is required for the OS and other stuff.

What can I do to free up some space?

If I remove downloaded games, am I going to be able to download them again?

Is it possible to shelve/archive games or apps that I do not use often to shrink them?

Is it possible to move stuff onto a secondary usb drive?
