Blank Baseplate with nothing in it outside of game 736k instances and inside game 824k instances. I’ve re-installed my Roblox and Roblox Studio and I deleted the entire Roblox folder inside of app data and disabled all of my plugins and nothing has fixed this issue. I don’t understand what’s going on but I know for a fact it has been impacting my memory inside Roblox Studio for absolutely no reason. Please help me. Thank you!

I wouldn’t worry about it.
I’ve confirmed that this behaviour happens on my computer as well. It’s most likely just backend stuff that we can’t access, used for all the different functionalities of Roblox Studio (e.g. the Core scripts when running the game, and all the tools available in studio such as the move tool, the script editor, terrains, etc.) and hence is the intended behaviour.
Yes, the instances would be affecting the memory usage. No, it isn’t for no reason.

just accept the fact that roblox does not care about that at all they only want your money

This is likely because Studio is just a really big “game” on it’s own. I can also see ~700k Instances in the Studio stats menu, however, in the actual Player, it is ~60k, likely occupied by the Core GUI and the desktop app itself (which is also technically a Roblox game).
Studio is a very, very big application, and so are all IDEs. It is not “for no reason”, although it has maybe gotten worse as more features have been added and components have been re-written in Luau in order to improve development experience and quality. However, I think you’ll be fine as long as you meet the minimum specs. I think it’ll also start reducing it’s memory usage when it starts getting too close to your system’s memory limit, like the Player does.
The Roblox execs are not the ones maintaining the applications, the engineers are. I know they’re generally very nice people who don’t just want our collective wallets 
The people who have qualifications in software engineering do indeed try to maintain software they are paid to maintain.

Thank you for the solution! I managed to figure out how to pull up that menu in game pretty easily. My instances count is very similar to the count you showed in the picture.
I love how it shows instances and primitives right next to each other vertically. I don’t believe it’s that big of a deal but after seeing everyone share their own knowledge of this it was really nice.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to help me! Have a great day

Yes you are right
Thank you for correcting me!
Yes I realize that now and I’m glad that everyone shared their own counts because now it makes sense to me why this happens.
The count in game is usually going to be so much less because there is many components in Roblox Studio compared to what you add to your own game.
