I noticed something weird with my storage recently. It seemed to drop to just 1GB out of nowhere! I deleted a bunch of stuff, and it went back up for a bit, but then I got a notification saying my storage was low again. I observed the numbers shifting—from 300MB to 11GB—and it's really confusing. I've uninstalled apps and cleared temporary files, but nothing seems to work. Could this be a virus or something else? Help!

Have you checked if hibernation is enabled? Search for File Explorer Options, click on the View tab, and make sure to show hidden files. Look for a file named 'Hiberfil.sys' on your C drive—if it's there, it could be taking up a lot of space.
You might want to try creating a restore point on your C drive. Get rid of any old restore points and then create a new one manually. That could help resolve your storage issue!
I'll check that out, thank you!
