It seems like you're planning something and expecting it to take time.

You might look for a comparable tool such as WinDirStat to locate it.

If WinDirStat doesn’t identify the file’s origin or details, yet it appears as a continuous ~100GB area, it might indicate data stored in filestreams. These are compact blocks used to track files, often holding binary information rather than simple records. They function more like a small directory for each file, unlike typical flat databases. Windows uses them to remember where a file originated—stored in the :Zone.Identifier stream—to verify if it came from the internet, regardless of copying across networks or USB drives. Such streams are uncommon beyond minor usage, except when a program has an unusual behavior. Consider running a scan at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/alternate_d...reams.html and let us know if any files display unusually large "Stream Allocated Size".

It should require no longer than 10 minutes when you pick just one half of the folders at a time and check their sizes.

I also tried using TreeSize, but it wasn't visible.

They're not referring to that; the values are expressed in bytes, making the total under 1MB.

I checked that page too. I removed a couple of games from Steam and didn’t see any changes.
