Steam taking up too much disk space!

[ManBearPing]

(THIS IS NOT A GTA V ISSUE!)

I've installed steam yesterday, and downloaded GTA V (which says it should takes 59 GBs).
Today I woke up and discovered I'm left with no free space on my SSD (got some 2.5MBs left for 1-2 LQ porn gifs).

The Steam dir takes 119 GBs! Just with GAT V installed!

I can't free up more memory.

I'm using Windows 8.1.

"Programs and Features" showing some old games I used to play with Steam (BoarderLand, RockSmith), but I can't Uninstall them -> When I try, I thrown to my Steam app where those games declared as "Uninstalled" (aka I need to install them in order to play).

Also, the game won't run because "disk write error" and I guess I know why.

Help.

You need enough room to install GTA V twice if you preordered. It has to have room to unpack - after unpacking it will only take up the measly 59+ GB.

You just got to make room. Put things on other drives, clean it up, and compress.

its closer to 3x the space when installing
download -> unpack -> copy to install location
then it cleans up download/unpack locations

GTAV had a preload bug, delete the files in \Steam\Steamapps\Common\ DepotCache
