I'm really confused about my computer's storage usage. Windows indicates that my apps & features use up 20.9 GB and my system & reserved takes another 30 GB. However, when I check my apps, they seem to only take around 3 GB in total. Additionally, whenever I try to reset my computer or access advanced startup options, I encounter a blue screen of death. Is this type of storage usage normal, or could there be something wrong with my system?

Yeah, those small storage drives are really only good for light use, like browsing. Have you noticed the storage filling up quickly after removing apps? That’s pretty normal too; Windows systems can be quite bloated, even with minimal use.
It's not uncommon for Windows to take up a lot of space, sometimes over 60 GB, especially when you consider system files and pre-installed applications. Nowadays, a 100 GB minimum is pretty standard for a smooth experience. So if your storage management feels tight, it’s probably time to think about upgrading or switching to a lightweight operating system if you can.
How are you uninstalling programs? Are you using the built-in apps and features menu, or manually deleting files? You might want to try a program like WizTree to scan your disk—it can help you find out what’s really eating up your space. Just check out the top folders, especially Users, Program Files, and Windows, to see where the bulk of your storage is going.
