Shadercache taking up space
C:\Steam\steamapps\shadercache\2261806182\fozpipelinesv4 Over 22 gigs. Can I delete this? Why is it taking up so much space?

There's shad'er cache in Windows clean up, Steam.
You can delete them and they will be created again as needed.
Close Steam.
Restart PC.

its the same for NVIDIA.


You might wanna turn it off in your Control Panel of the GPU, if you feel like it takes too much space.

Kitt - Just delete the folder and turn off shadercache in steam options and job done, I just saved 73gb, Its no faster loading times, Not really only slightly, But with it enabled, It uses some of your ssd access and bandwidth usage, Turning it off tbh is better. Its more of a feature best used on hdd rather than ssd or nvm.e drives.
