Windows 10: Huge windows 11 laptop storage issue

I need to free up space on my laptop. It's maxed out at 256/256 GB, showing that the apps are taking up 160 GB of storage. However, settings only find 141 apps most came on the computer and only 2 take up more than a gigabyte of space. The 2 in question are Google Play Games which gives an error when I try to uninstall it, but that's irrelevant to the question at 2.33 GB and Minecraft, at 1.55 GB. It's mathematically impossible for the apps to take up 160 GB of space if there are only 141 of them and 2 that take up over a gigabyte less than 3. What's going on? Are there any hidden apps I'm

:)

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
