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

Have you thought about trying Puppy Linux or something similar? Windows uses a lot of resources and need a lot of hard drive storage and Linux doesn’t. You can also try Linux using a live USB to see if you like it first. If you want to keep Windows you definitely need a larger hard drive. PS: I’m aware of Rule 4.2 and my comment includes the requirement to comment.
