In fairness hibernation files need to be massive because they need to be able to store the full running state of RAM which on a reasonable computer comes out to 10s of gigs. If you want to hibernate Linux the swap partition will look similar.
Also no idea why virtual memory is counted there that’s just a memory addressing method.
Its a bug. Win11 recently did not cleanup temp nor updates files when the job ran to clean them up. A lot of people had 10’s of gb of data that could be cleared, but wasnt
Of course, that’s what I’m saying. They gotta backup all that data they’re collecting while they’re tracking you. And windows after downloading an update and applying it, they don’t delete it. They keep it, to share it with other windows machines, cause it’s cheaper for MS to do peer to peer between windows computers instead of downloading it directly from them.

okay, but what about the 310gb of system files?

That’s a lot of words to say “it sucks”.
That’s just normal, they gotta store your data and the downloaded updates somewhere…
That’s a crazy amount of storage for an OS to use for itself is the point, I think.
