How do I stop 'Workshop' Mods downloading to Multiple Computers?

To cut it simple, I have over 150GB's worth of Mod's installed on my Main PC for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. My Main PC has more than enough storage to withhold the amount of maps and mods I have for it.

But for my other computer, I do not have the sufficient space for the maps so I've gotta ask; How can I disable the downloading of Workshop Items across multiple computers? Any advice would be appreciated. :)

Not sure if there is a way. I did some digging (i.e Google front page) and it looks like your Steam Workshop mods are synced to the Steam Cloud. So, you would have to unsubscribe from the mods you don't want, which will suck, because 150GB of mods is an insane amount. Kudos for the dedication, though.

If you check the Steam files, there is a section under 'steamapps' that contains your workshop data. You could highlight all that data and delete it. Not sure if it will reinstall again, though.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

Thanks for the awesome reply man, and thanks for the help. I did naturally delete the actual maps / mods once they were installed through the Steam Directory, but it would continuously download the maps / mods again. Hell, I can't even Pause or Stop the download, it literally forces me to install it.
Even going into the game's properties and disabling the Steam Cloud didn't work.

Thanks for the reply though!
