It is a best practice that we keep the free disk space at a 20% level (minimum). When your startup disk is almost full, the entire machine will run slowly. Lack of storage is one of the main culprits for many computer performance issues, including slow startup. Then select those items you don’t need to open up on startup and click the minus “-” symbol. To check and disable those unnecessary items, click Apple icon > System Preferences > Users & Groups, now click on the Login Items tab (it’s right next to Password). Login items are those applications that run automatically once you log in. How to fix: remove unnecessary login items If you can reduce the number of auto-startup items, you’ll be sure to wait less time, and your Mac will perform better too. Nothing slows down a Mac more than having loads of apps and services launching when you press the start button.

How to fix: verify and repair disk using Disk Utility.

How to fix: disconnect unused peripherals.

Suggest that you initially move that BraveSoftware folder to the Mac Desktop and keep that BraveSoftware folder until Brave Browser will run and THEN delete that folder from the Mac Desktop.
