Hi everyone.
I really need help.
I have a Xiaomi 13 lite.It was working ok untill the OS update.All of a sudden,the Gallery app is occupying 202GB of storage,but I don't even have that much photos and videos on my phone,not even close,as you can see in the screenshots I'm posting.
I am backing up all of the media to Google Photos.As you can see,there is some 19GB there.
Because of that 202GB used up storage,my phone is almost unusable..
Does anyone know what went wrong and what can I do to rectify this?

Found the solution xD
Just go to settings>apps>gallery and uninstall updates..looks like one of the updates was corrupted
All photos and videos accounted for
