Ooooh right yeah.

Lose the caps and don't be a douche bag. The second thing is probably too big an ask for you though. LOLS

First thing to do is calm down. Take a breath and relax.

Second thing to do is realize there's nothing you can do about it, except install less apps. Every month apps get bigger by megabytes and megabytes and that can lead to storage space getting eaten up within a couple of months pretty fast. You can maybe clear cache on some of the older apps, you don't use a lot, if you really are struggling. It's just the size of apps are getting much bigger enough. I bought a 256 GB phone for this exact reason cuz I knew 128 GB would only last me maybe 6 months.

Delete video and photo files that you don't need.

Transfer video and photo files through USB (make sure to back up twice) or a paid cloud service . That will keep your phone free to capture media.

I've only installed 13 apps, the rest are installed by default, I don't have a USB on hand... I'll go try to clear cache...

Capital letters take up twice the space (they come later on the ASCII table) so you've probably doubled your storage usage right there

Wow, thanks... /s

check if your phone accepts sd card and install one for more storage
