Check my older (Strange disk storage problems.) question to know what is happening. That still happens I even deleted previous Windows installions to increase storage to 68GB and after that it jumped to 72GB and it was like that for a few days but it started decreasing days before the newest update. Then the storage had a few points where it stayed at the same numer and also changed a bit then the update was installing it decreasing quite a few gigabytes after update it came back to 65GB but then it changed to 66GB then it dropped to 65GB but it changed just hundreds of megabytes but it dropped to 64.9GB but sometimes it showed me 65GB then back to 64.9GB. I deleted temporary files many times from disk cleanup and settings app system/storage/temporary files but why this is happening, why it changes so much, updates take some space temporarily but this is happening every day, every time, is this a C disk problem, how do I fix this, is this even fixable? How to fix this and help me fix this because it annoys me so much if this even fixable help me please.

It's normal to see a few GB of storage fluctuation in Windows 11 due to system activities like creating temporary files, caching updates, and managing restore points. There's also this page file (used for virtual memory), it dynamically adjusts its size based on system needs, contributing to these changes. Apps and background processes may also generate or delete data, causing minor variations in available storage.

But before the the old update my space 53GB then I installed the update and my storage space dropped down to 42GB and never came back to 53GB. It also happened again before this update I had 68GB then I installed the update, then storage space dropped down to 65GB and doesn't come back is that normal?

If you are curious and want to observe these changes in details, you will need tools. One good one is called Treesize, you can download from the Store app, and from the Start > All apps menu, find the app, right click and run as administrator. Observe it over time to see what is changing.
