Fallout 4 taking up over 90 GB

[richjez]

So Basically i am a huge fan of Fallout 4 that I've played and complete the game about 3 times. However I was about to start my 4th run after not having played it in a while when i noticed the game takes up an alarming amount of over 90gb. So are the old files somehow still saved after i deleated them in the game? (Did't go in files or anything) So why might it be taking up so much space?

Do note that I have the following
-All dlc's owned
-A lot of other bulky games installed like elden ring, Silient Hill 2 remake, genshin impact and no Man sky.
-Possibly still have the older saves still on my hard drive somehow.

I would appreciate any help, thank you.

Saves aren't stored in the game directory but in My Documents so you can rule that option out

Do you have the official "high res" textures DLC? Cause it's silly heavy and not worthy of the result

Btw Dang, You answered fast mate

If you are limited for space there is also the "Vivid Fallout all in one" file on nexus.
A very lightweight way of improving FO4 textures significantly.
Also be sure in steam FO4 game control panel to uncheck the Bethesda HD pack, so next time Steam looks at your game it does not reinstall he HD pack automatically.

Im not really a whole mod nerd guy so im not gonna do the file thing but I will be sure to stop steam from re downloading the pack.
