I can't seem to be able to post any pictures here for some reason, so I'll just try to describe it:

i go to settings system then storage then i see all of my storage, there is this section "temporary files" it says it takes up 31.3gb of my storage i went in there cleaned everything out left only the downloads (which are only 3.53gb) and it still says it's 31gb

    Hi,

    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

    Open the Start Menu, type Disk Cleanup, and select "Run as administrator", to run the Disk Cleanup.

    Select the disk, select disk the option to delete > OK.

    The temporary files options on Settings > Storage may take some time to update, it is not always very precise.
