a bit more information would help to support this type of question. Windows, Linux, MacOS, what version of Core client, how you come to say that 50% is full, where the 290 GB come from...

-1 The likely answer would be that your free space is not on the same partition as the bitcoin directory. If that's not the answer, please edit your question to rule that out.
