Hello, When I connect my Instinct® 2 Solar Tactical Edition to the computer, I just bought it, I have barely used it, the file explorer tells me that I have 10.1 MB out of a total of 18.3 Mb. I understand that the system reserves part of the memory for itself, but I don't understand that of the 32 MB that the clock has according to the specifications, I have less than a third left at the end, 10 MB? Can someone explain it to me? Thank you.

Interesting, the specs on the website currently still tell 32 MB at all Instinct 2 models, except of Crossover with 64 MB.
Normally only around 2MB, or even less, are occupied by the system. If it is more than that, then you may need to do some clean up - delete all files from the folders //GARMIN/Activity, //GARMIN/REMOTESW, //GARMIN/Debug, //GARMIN/TEXT (expect of your own language file), you can also delete unused Courses and Workouts.
If you want to see which files take the most place on the watch, use a tool like WinDirStats, or even the command line. On my watch, the file //GARMIN/Debug/err_log.txt containing a memory dump from the last crash (note the big red rectangle on the screenshot below), together with three language files in the folder //GARMIN/texts (green) took almost half of the occupied space, before deleting them. There is usually a redundant copy of the last firmware in the folder //GARMIN/REMOTESW, which takes almost 1 MB, but I deleted it already before running the report. I have 16 MB free on the watch.
