So it's working and you're confused why it's working?

You keep telling us you have a problem, but then you say that it's working.

My game also takes 96gb space. Most likely you download your game, and then it takes more time to actually install it i guess. and while doing so it shows you that it downloads game still.

Just guessing but the 96gb is what the installed game uses, it probably needs space to download compressed files first and then space to install the game. Try to clear some space first.

Then free up room. Uninstall games you're not playing anymore.

What exactly are you expecting anyone to do for you? We can't just give you more storage. If you run out you either install a larger hard drive or free up space.

This isn't rocket science. It's common sense.

Indeed common sense
Makes me wonder if it's a single hdd on his pc. Ether way os still needs room to operate, so the game could be taking up last bit of space with os.
For OP
Uselly in this case I buy a new bigger drive, clone the os drive onto new drive, and then reallocate the new space to the c partition.

If 250gb drive being replaced by 1tb drive. Then clone it then reallocate the unused 750 space into the 250.

Drives are cheap, shoot for a ssd replacement.
