Hi,
I have an issue with my RAM usage any help would be appreciated.
My RAM shows almost 10GB occupied with literally nothing open besides the activity monitor..

Almost all those programs you see in the Activity Monitor window are what is using up the "App Memory" part of the Memory Used stat. Wired Memory is memory that belongs to the kernel and cannot ever be paged out to disk. Compressed memory is App Memory currently not in use and compressed in RAM to minimize the space consumed in RAM until it is need again.
Your memory use in RAM is perfectly fine.
I've checked swap files via terminal and I have nothing "swapping" at all
This is with only Activity Monitor open

The posted screenshot disagrees with you. Try again please.
Why is my MacBook's RAM showing high usage with nothing open?
