Edit: Didn't even work... :(

So that's where all my storage space has gone!
Thanks!

90GB freed up. And i was wondering why gmod was taking up 30% of my used space.

 

[Grau]

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.

[doublepost=1516858428][/doublepost]Just got rid of 248 gbs.

Yes. I know.
Thank you DoubleD. I will forever be in your godly debt.

12.8GB saved (Minimum, it was still calculating by the time I pressed delete)

Trying to figure out why the fuck I'm getting minecraft models when I search shit on Gmod despite not having any minecraft addons. Did a few cursory searches through my files and found some weird minecraft files in my materials and sounds folders. Is there any other places that I should be clearing out to get rid of old shit I don't need any more?

Pretty cool. Just found the guide, but it deleted a total of 7,096 items from the year of 2016 to 2018. After deleting them, it cleared up a very large amount of space. It cleared up about a total of 249 GB + after deleting them all, leaving me with plenty of space left. Thanks!

Don't know if this is considered a necropost, but considering the last post was but a month ago I'll go ahead.

This folder clogged up 6,125 files. Deleting it saved 217GB from my computer, holy shit.
