eso file location?
I recently reinstalled the game on steam, but noticed three seperate "zenimax online" folders on my hard drive... deleted one, because it said 'last date modified: 12/05/2017', so I just figured it was from an old installation of the game. Now i'm left with two, one in my 'Steam/steamapps/common' folder and one in my 'Program Files (86x) folder'. Combined, these both take up around 130gb on my system, and I'm almost certain the game doesn't need that much space. Can I delete any of these? they both say they were last used today..

Seems odd that you have a folder in your "Program Files (86x) folder", just checked mine and it wasn't there so most likely it's just where the game was temporarily being extracted to, either from steam or the launcher.

No it doesn't, the game takes up 77.5GB. If you're taking up 130GB, then you must have duplicate files or had an issue cleaning out files that aren't needed anymore.

The file in steam is 79.3gb, so I'm just gonna try and delete the other one. thanks for the help
