Why is steam taking up 64GB of my hard drive?
I was just looking at my program to completely uninstall things looking for places to cut to save space on my hard drive and noticed Steam is taking 64GB. Why is this and how can i fix this I already ran Steam Cleaner and it dropped from 65GB to 64GB.

Because all your installed games are inside the Steam/steamapps/common folder?
My main Steam folder is 600 GB because of installed games.

Unless you changed the install location the default is into steams directory under steam apps.

If you have extra hardrives you can setup directories for games in the steam settings, they don't have to be in default, its recommend not to put them on the OS drive anyway

yeah i screwed that up. I should have partitioned my drive when i first built this PC but i didn't.
so9 when I am looking at Revo and see .Hack taking up X space its also accounted for in the Steam total as well.

Anyway you would know how i can move these around now without losing my saves?

Images are a bit old, but should be close enough you can figure it out.
