I cleared up 55gb of storage to download payday 2 but it has already taken up all my space when it said it has downloaded 13gb

[Chrome Dreamer]

It has become impossible for me to download any game from steam since no matter how much space I clear up it always takes up more space than it says. I dont really have much left to uninstall since my laptop only has 250gb storage

Download spacemonger, its a very handy tool to see what folders take up space

15$ is 15$ too expensive for me

Otherwise : Maybe these threads will be of help :

This excellent free tool should help you find out where the disk space are going : https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/

There is also a program for Steam cleaning though I can not vouch for this program ..

I use WinDirStat, and it says Im using up 185gb of my storage space even though my system says i have used up 250gb. I cannot find what is taking up all my storage. I have 2 games installed, League of legends, Dauntless, both of them taking up less than 10gb.

That discrepancy in reported disks pace probably is where your source problem is to be found in connection with. I do not know WinDirStat, , Treesize Free that I suggested lets you count used disk space in two ways , 1) as SIZE and 2) as ALLOCATED Space , and there can be a serious difference between the two , I do not know if that is part of your problem ? Allocated space is what you should count as that is the greater of the two , because a small file of the size of one kb may actually allocate 4 KB as that is probably the smallest unit to allocate on disk and a 5 kb file will take 8 KB and so on.
However I can not tell if that is the source of your problem or if you have another problem that does that you are out of space due to some system problem. But try Treesize Free and let that tell what takes up what space where....

P.S.
With your kind of problems you also should run a CHKDSK /F at command prompt (Will require a reboot to execute)

payday 2 needs more then double of what it says on the store page, the dlc was not included in the min file size, and theres a ton of dlc added to the game that now comes with the game.

edit-payday2 has a file six of 96gb for me, and thats with all dlc

That I did not know, I don't own the game. Good to know and I'll keep it mind next time this question comes around.

Thanks for this addition.
