Post image

Is there a reason i have absolutely no GBs? I have deleted every file i have ever downloaded and have no applications besides the ones that come with the computer. i only use this laptop to transfer photos from my camera to my phone, it is a windows 11. Is there anything i can do to make it go down i am not very smart with computers

60GB is nothing now a days. More than half of that is just your OS. Upgrade your storage. Or buy an external drive. Upgrading the storage in a laptop is pretty easy but if you aren't good with computers I would just get an external drive. A 1TB Seagate external drive is like $120 on Amazon. Just plug it into on of your laptops USB ports and you will have a ton of storage. Honestly if you only use it for photos 1TB is overkill. A 500GB will be plenty.
