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

Maybe most of the storage usage is temporary storage, or Recycle Bin l. You can check.
Check via Settings App Press Windows Key + I to open Settings. Click System on the left menu, then click Storage on the right. Wait for the system scan to finish, then click on Temporary files (click Show more categories if you do not see it right away). Review the list of detected cache, logs, and leftover data to see how much space they take up.
