Windows 10 issues with incorrect free space on the root drive (C)
Your Windows 10 system is showing incorrect free space information on the boot drive. Despite having the latest stable version with all updates, certain applications like Steam can cause unexpected disk allocation changes. This usually resolves itself after a restart. If it persists, consider checking disk usage tools or running a disk cleanup to rule out hidden files or corrupt entries.
Steam likely sets aside space for the game installation, then downloads the game itself, which uses additional storage. After installation, it removes the downloaded file, freeing up that space.
