Showing Incorrect Storage Usage

Anonymous

When I go to storage settings, it says that Valorant takes up 328GB of storage, which it obviously doesn't, it takes up around 10GB of storage. Also, I tried to uninstall Valorant to see if the '328GB' is gone, but when it said 'Valorant has been uninstalled" my PC crashes and when it restarts, Valorant is still there, and it also still says that it takes up 328GB. It also says that I've used 230GB. 328GB+ and 230GB are both inaccurate. I've actually only downloaded 160GB. Please help.

    Hi Ihaveisquestion

    Yes, that is what is in that folder, I have seen many discussions on that folder on the forums, I am still unclear on whether it is safe to delete the contents of that folder, there are varying views on that . . .

    Hi Ihaveisquestion

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    The Storage page in the Settings App is very unreliable and many people find it mis-reports space used on the hard drive

    Click the link below to download a small free utility called Treesize. Using that tool, you will instantly see where this space is being used

    https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/

    To run TreeSize, right click its icon and choose Run as Administrator . . .

    Please provide a screenshot of your C drive in that TreeSize utility, so I can see your hard drive and work out where that space is being used and if there is an underlying problem . ..

    I downloaded that software and it says that my Epic Games folder is taking up around 160GB, which is correct, but 'Windows Apps' has a folder named 'MSIXVC' and it is taking up around 60GB, I searched it up, and people have said that 'MSIXVC' were installation files for some games.
