Windows 10: My laptop is losing storage. And I am not sure how to fix it.

Back in August my laptop used to have around 90-100 free GB. Then sometime around August or September, the storage started dropping. Went from the 92gb it used to be to 6 GB left now. And I haven't changed a single thing.


I've been using the same programs as I did back then and the only thing I could think of is paint.net. I installed it once before I get photoshop to act as a substitute and then after I got photoshop I didn't worry about it. But now I can't uninstall it.


Not sure if i should reset or if there's a folder that's taking up all this space. Please help.
