I'm trying to figure out what's using up my storage. I've only installed Fortnite (which is about 90GB), Discord, and Chrome, yet I only have around 27GB left on my 215GB drive. Any suggestions on how to identify what's taking up all this space?

Have you checked the 'Add or Remove Programs' section? That could give you a clue about what’s taking up space. Sometimes old software hangs around without you realizing it!
Windows 11 itself can be quite bulky. I usually recommend at least a 512GB drive for OS installations. If you want speed, WizTree is a fantastic file indexer you might want to try.
You might want to try downloading Windirstat. It can analyze your drive and show you a visual representation of what’s taking up space. It’s super helpful!
Check out WinDir or DirTool. Those tools are great for seeing what's using your storage. It could be temporary files or other hidden stuff.
I got an SSD too because of all the storage issues with Windows 11. It’s frustrating because it wasn’t like this with Windows 10!
