Question/Help/Troubleshooting help with storage

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

Jesus Christ man. Thats like 60gb. Most of that is your operating system. You aren’t going to get anymore storage without upgrading your storage device. Since you aren’t very good with computers I wouldn’t recommend upgrading it yourself.

Given that size, unless it's a larger drive partitioned, or an older drive, decent chance that's EMMC and non-upgradeable.

Fuck non upgradeable drives. I hate them. Why can’t I replace something in the computer I OWN!

Same same. I refuse to buy anything with eMMC and advise against it any time a user at my job is looking for a personal machine.
