In fact, the main reason for becoming a drama is the impression that

Sure it has 32GB on it.  But that doesn't mean 32GB is available for
your files.  There is OS overhead, also.

Bullshit. Overhead does not consume 7% of the disk capacity. This is
just the difference between 1 GiB and 1 GB.



Overhead can easily take up 7% of the disk, depending on the file system being used.

You have just shown you have no idea what you're talking about.
