![]() ![]() Ok, I found the answer, and it's a weird one. I'm thinking of deleting Steam as a whole, since I haven't been gaming all that much recently anyway. In essence, I'm worried that Steam is not freeing up space adequately when I delete my games. I'm pretty sure I didn't get back the ~7GB it was using. How is this possible? Did I do something wrong? Are there "hidden files" or something similar that I can manually delete to free the remaining 5GB? Is it because CS:GO is a Source Engine game?īefore deleting CS:GO, I also deleted Borderlands 2 via the same method, and although I failed to specifically check how many free GBs I had before and after deletion, I'm confident that the same thing happened. Steam told me CS:GO was using 8GB, but I only recovered about 3GB by deleting it. Having just deleted it, I checked and I now I have ~18GB free! I deleted it, by choosing "Delete Local Files". According to Steam itself, CS:GO was roughly 8GB. I had ~15GB free on my SSD when I went into my library and deleted CS:GO. Otherwise, it is an effective way of hiding away a game you own when you are not playing it (or if you don't ever intend to play it).I'm in desperate need to free up some disk space on my Macbook, so I went on Steam to delete a few of the heaviest games I haven't been playing. The only problem to this solution in your case is, you would have to cancel the removal everytime you want to play the game that was removed. Which means you can use the permanent removal feature as a way to toggle the game on or off whenever you want. if you return on the support page for that game, you are prompted whether or not you want to put the game back in your library).
