Internal Storage- Other is taking all my space

[DarkDexter]

So I decided to do Emulation on my Internal 64GB Storage on the deck since I have a 256 GB card for my steam games. I downloaded emudeck and some games to try and deleted all files I possibly could find I didnt want except for 2 4GB games on PS2. My internal storage is now maxed out. 42 GB of my 64 is OTHER. I understand Steam OS falls in other category along with a few other apps but that's all I got. My deck is only 2 weeks old,, I havent dowloaded that much . I cant even download a device storage manager to check the issue. Any other suggestions

Sounds like shader pre-cache and the OS itself to me.

Shader cache files. Get a sd card for you games 7 use internal for the shaders. Otherwise, upgrade the internal drive to a higher capacity if you're technically inclined or know someone who can do it for you.

So I downloaded the tool and cleared shader cache. That was only 1GB. Still have 42 GB of other and can’t find in any files that amount of content

Other is literally everything that isn't a game from Steam. The (two copies of the) OS, shader cache, everything you've installed through Discover, all your files, and any game that hasn't finished downloading all count as Other.

Baobab or Filelight can show you where space is being used.
