I have an SSD with 223GB available. After installing BF4, I moved on to GTA V, leaving around 40GB free. I removed GTA V because it used too much space, leaving about 110GB now. Installing another game took roughly 30GB, but I also deleted it later. So I think I should have around 110GB free. However, I only found 79GB available, missing about 25-30GB. It seems I might have missed something—I emptied the recycle bin and didn’t change anything.
I performed a disk cleanup, which eliminated shadow copies and old system restore points, freeing about 50GB of storage.

Have you considered improving your SSD? It’s possible a TRIM command was issued after removing GTAV, which might have restored some space, but not when other games were deleted, indicating the freed area hasn’t been properly used yet. You should also use the disc cleanup tool—search for 'cleanmgr' and follow the prompts to clear old system restore points. This can help remove scattered files and potentially free up several gigabytes.
