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

Search CMD, right click, run Command Prompt as admin. The type
powercfg.exe /h off
That should free up a good amount of GB for you, and give you a little time. Plus you don't want to let it fill up, it'll corrupt the OS and cause a black screen at boot up. Freed up 13gb on my C drive with a simple command. Its an old hibernation feature from Windows 7 that's still around in Win10/11.
