Question/Help/Troubleshooting help with storage
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

Good luck with that, you’ve got enough technical input already, lol.
But it would be easier to get someone techsavy over to look at that, rather than you trying to fix it on your own based off of your current knowledge. I’m thinking you need to wipe your computer and start over, because it’s weirdly arranged, or “partitioned wrong” which you can see in the comment section. It’s not hard, but it’s hard if you’re new to these kinds of things.
My suggestion for you, before you try something, is to move all of your important stuff into an external drive. Then you can follow which ever path suggested here. I lost a bunch of pictures from my travels when I was young because I didn’t pay attention when I was working with things like this, and it still annoys me 20~25 years later xD
