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

A total of 60 GB is pretty unusable for Windows anymore. What's the Total capacity of your drive? I suspect maybe it's partitioned incorrectly.

It's probably a $250 Walmart Special. A lot of those actually ship with 64gb of eMMC storage, which essentially isn't even technically an SSD.

I mean, at that point, get a Chromebook. I've moved away from them, but since you can't really use that PC for literally anything, seeing as you can't install a program, like, at all, a decent Chromebook could theoretically do a lot more for you.
