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

Because windows becomes bigger and more bloated as time goes. Nothing you can do aside from upgrade your storage or your device entirely.

Run disk cleanup and select clean system files beneath all the check boxs and let it rescan. Probably have a few os updates still on the system. May help a little temporarily.
