Android Central Question

Hi there I hope someone can help.

Note 5, 32gb (yes it's old)

After operating system I should have 24 gb of storage available.

I just cleared off videos and a bunch of pictures. According to "storage" under settings, I have about 8.5 gb of apps, docs, and pics. However it says I only have 8.8gb free. I'm okay with that for now, but where is the other 7 gb that should be free? Is it hidden some where?

8.5 gb of stuff + 8.8 gb of free space = 17.3 gb not 24gb.

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you for any guidance.
