how do I remove iteams from my start up disk to create more space?

make sure you have a backup first. LIke with Time Machine.
drag stuff to the trash you don't want to save
like music, videos, photos, documents, apps you don't use anymore. Video, in particular, tends to take up a lot of room.
don't drag system files to the trash.
get an external hard drive. Don't buy a WD. reformat the drive with Disk Utility. Don't use any of the software that comes with the drive.
copy stuff you want to save to the external hard drive.
Once you've copied those items to the external hard drive, you can drag the originals to the trash.
empty the trash.
enjoy all your new space.

HT201177 How Do I Remove Files From My Start-Up Disk?

Can someone tell me how to remove files from my start up disk?

Your startup volume is full. First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

I can not get my finder help to even recognizw "stsrt up disc" to ask a question.
I have only Safari, mail, word and finder open. I have 8 gb's of ram so I don't understand what's going on. Please help.
