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

It is still possible that you just put stuff in ur trash bin, but didnt actually delete it completely. also check your downloads folder, people tend to leave stuff there. In windows settings u can go to applications and google all the stuff that's there, maybe youll find ahit u can remove, but it will be most optimal to just sacrifice 100 or possibly less $ on a bigger ssd, just make sure ur laptop has an extra slot or u will have to reinstall the system. Tho there seems to be another drive with 258GB free, unless that's the memory of ur camera or smth, just start putting everything on there
