"non-steam" storage

[Hotcurry54]

I have this issue where it seems like a large amount of the storage on my computer is taken up by something, and I have no idea what it is, or how to get rid of it. I use this computer basically exclusively for gaming, and I can see what games take up how much storage, but there is another section called "non-steam", and It that non-steam takes up 342gigs. Does anyone have a similar problem, or know how to figure out what's taking up the storage, and how to fix it?

Its probably Windows itself.
Find any free disk use analysis tool to see which folders have the most data(they show bigger in the tool) and if its something you can uninstall or just outright manually delete(not a part of Windows).

I use SpaceSniffer (www.uderzo.it) while others recommend WinDirStat (windirstat.net)
(Strange Steam doesn't like that first link... look for the wiener dog logo)
