I've been clearing out my device by deleting many photos and videos, but my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro still shows that it's 99% full. The settings indicate that my images only take up 3GB, but my gallery claims to use 20GB and all my apps combined use 80GB. What's going on? Can someone help me figure out where all this space is going?

It sounds like your gallery is reflecting the storage used by all media files, so that 20GB figure might be accurate for the total of everything you haven't yet cleared. Also, when you delete files, they might go to a 'trash' or 'recently deleted' folder instead of being completely removed. Make sure to check if there's an option to empty that folder and free up additional space.
If you haven't already, check your storage settings to see if there's a section for cached files that can be cleared. Deleting files doesn't automatically free up space until they're completely removed from the device, so confirming that all deletions are finalized could help.
You might want to go through your apps and uninstall any that you're not using. Sometimes, even apps that seem small can accumulate a lot of data over time. There may also be something in your settings that lets you clear cached data for those apps.
