Game's size 33GB?
It was around 20GB last time I downloaded at the end of Anthology update. What's up with additional 13GB? There's no way 3 leaders needs to have 13GB.

Do you really think 6 leaders warrant additional 13GB size? It should have been only 3 GB at most. Main expansions (RnF and GS) plus additional DLCs before this only added 8 GB, as a comparison.

Do you have mods?

I do, but shouldn't they be separated from its own game when counting installation size? RimWorld is still 300MB separately, even though I have 5GB mods.

My full installation with no mods and all expansions is showing 22.2GB on disk, so seems fine to me. Check your installation

I take it you didn't read about the which was extra over and above the leaders, But know even with that I cant feature it adding another 12 gigs unless you got some mods active.

Mods in Civ 6 are intergrated in the menu, so there is a good chance that they have installed those in the same map.

So the game went back to 22 GB after I uninstalled. Apparently the game kept trying to download 6 GB of something every single time I open Steam and it kept adding up. Very weird problem, but it has been solved now.

Files without the right pathing will do that. If the game does not find the files it needs to start it, it will download it again even if its already downloaded.

I doubt that it was pathing because I reinstalled at the exact same path without change. My suspect was that the installation messed up because I changed my system type to Linux when messing with Steam Console and it just kept adding up to foiled downloads.
