You can just re-download em, if you still have them subbed it'll auto-redownload the files

So I used to be subscribed to 1020 addons

I unsubscribed from hundreds and had 742 subscribed too

I questioned why i still had little storage

Then I did this

To expand on what @Blackquill said, you can go ahead and delete everything, and then connect to nebulous and let it do its thing, then pause the game, go to options, the multiplayer tab and their should be a drop down menu that says something along the lines of allow all custom content, you should change that to disallow so that servers can't fill up your PC with junk. Any time you wanna download some content from a server just turn it back on, it's a great way to filter out stuff say if you're joining a server once and don't really intend to join again

Bro tip, get a 3 TB plus drive. Sea gate barracuda is the one I have now. Storage space becomes a non issue.

Always wondering why GMOD is clunking up your storage space? You try to fix it by deleting all your addons, but that doesn't do anything?

Well, listen closely.
  • head over to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\downloads\server
  • CTRL+A (Selects all files)
  • Hit your delete button.
  • Click 'Okay" and delete everything
  • Enjoy that WONDERFUL storage space
Now you might say "Durr DoubleD, I already know that!" Well, I didn't know this before, so I'm posting it for the other people who don't know. I deleted over 150 Gigabytes of shit that I downloaded from servers (Like DarkRP) and I went from 764 gigs used to 612 gigs used. Try it.

Hope this helped for the people who have limited space on their computer.

Free'd up a lot of space. Thanks!

I don't get why they save even if you delete them but they still free up space lol
