So only three games are installed on my SSD—Rust, GTA V, and Arma 3—and they use up 132gb. On the other hand, I still have a few games on my HDD (about three or four right now). My Steam Workshop folder is occupying 50gb of space, but I’m not sure why that is. Does anyone know what’s going on? I don’t understand how the workshop functions.

Steam workshop is consistently located in the master Steam folder AFAIK. Additionally, certain mods are quite significant.

That's the situation. I haven't installed any mods. I also removed the download cache and uninstalled all the games from my PC, yet they keep showing up when I scan the disk with treesize.

Any mods you receive will be included, regardless of whether the game is installed.

If you don't wish for the mods to be removed from Steam again, they won't be downloaded once more.
