steam says 0mb available disk space

[Carwyn]

Im not sure if anyone knows whats going on here, but i went to install a game today and it says my disk space is 0mb available, i have about 55 gigs free on my hard drive, and no external, no matter what game i try to install (even a 50mb one like Downwell) it says 0 mb available and it cant install.

I'm having this same issue and I have no idea how to fix it. I've been scouring forums for a couple of hours now and still no fix. I've reinstalled steam and everything. Used a cleaner to delete un-needed files from steam and still nothing. Please help!

Literally nothing worked for me. I turned off my PC, watched a movie, and came back and it was resolved. (I had previously rebooted like 3 times). I have no idea what caused this glitch, however, I will be keeping an eye out and if it happens again I will try to explain what I think the cause is.

Found a fix.

Setting>Downloads>Steam Library Folders>Click your folder>Repair Folder

Did this running Steam as Admin, not sure if it makes a difference tho.

If you recently plugged in an external hard drive and downloaded games onto you might have set it as your main hard drive for steam to download on.

-Go to Steam Settings
-Downloads
-Click Steam Library Folders
-Then Rightclick the directory your main hard drive / SSD is located
-Press Default Folder.
-Done, Download games again.

Hope This Helped, This problem happened to me so I wanted to try and help others with the problem.

If it does help please +rep my profile <3

This was the fix for me.
I use to have a hard drive dedicated for steam games. Therefore I set it up to be the default library. When I removed that hard drive I was left with this bug.

Sadly, this did not work for me. The current hard drive I have is my default but it still says 0mb when about 29000mb is the space of the game. I currently have 148gb free on my local disk. However, one thing that might be involved is the fact that I just recently got rid of my second hard drive, it had a few games on it. The games I want to install were installed on it, but have now since uninstalled. This is driving me crazy!

hi the problem got solved for me, may work for you as well.
Go to Steam>Settings>Download
click steam library folder and remove it.(dont worry we are going to add it again and it wont delete any game files)
You may get error.
Now exit Steam and launch it as an admin,
Again Go to Steam>Settings>Download
Click Steam Library folder and u will see the folder is not visible, add the folder and you have more space available which should actually be.
Hope this helps.
