Storage Space?
Apologies if this isn't in the right area.
I recently got help from a brilliant guy on this site about reinstalling Windows 10.
Prior to doing this my Laptop seemed to always lack storage space! It has storage of about 30GB which I know isn't a lot, but it seems that 26GBs has already been taken up by god knows what!
And every time I turn on the computer and use it (general browsing) the memory storage gets lower and stops apps from running!
Can anyone give a look in to why? I've used programs to locate large files but it seems I need the files that aren't huge!
Any help?

These systems should be sold with a warning that they're essentially a 21st century version of a typewriter -- running Windows in 32 G requires compromise. You can slim down the install following the information linked below, but you'll have to remain ever vigilant to keep Windows running in such a small space. You can also connect a 64G or larger flash memory drive or card for holding your data files -- that will help as well. Unfortunately these systems aren't otherwise upgradeable.
