I'm having a major issue with my laptop screen, which is a ROG Zephyrus G14. Whenever I start it up, half of the screen flickers and it's like some horizontal lines are taking over that portion. I have over 50 GB of free space, so that's not the issue. This happens all the time, especially if I move my mouse, open new tabs, or play games. I've updated my graphics drivers, restarted the PC multiple times, and unplugged it from my monitor, but the problem persists. It's driving me crazy!

It sounds like your display or connection might be failing. A temporary fix could be reducing your display's refresh rate to lessen the flickering, but it might not hold up for long. If it's out of warranty, replacing the laptop might end up being cheaper in the long run.
This is likely a hardware issue, either with the display itself or the connection cable linking it to the motherboard. Have you noticed if the flickering changes when you adjust the angle of your screen? That could give some clues about what’s going on.
Your storage shouldn’t affect the screen flickering. It might be due to a loose connection or the screen wearing out. You could also try rolling back your display driver if that’s an option for you!
I'm not too confident with tech stuff, so this is overwhelming. Finding a good replacement is tough since gaming laptops are so pricey!
