Could be grime in your calipers or your calipers are not pulling away from the rotors. Check your rotors for wear. If there’s wear, you may need to bleed your system or replace your calipers/main.

Definitely clutch related, not brakes. Throw out bearings usually make noise when you depress the clutch. Clutch plate, just the opposite.
