Why is my app storage so high when I barely have any apps?

[Robin Griffith]

The problem is that It says I have taken up 9.56 GB of storage with apps, so I decided to use a calculator to add up all of the storage actually taken up by each app; it only added up 5.04 GB. Why does it say it is so high? Is there something else taking up the app space?
