As we all know, most of the applications we download now, whether mobile phones or computers, will be downloaded in the form of installation packages first. The size displayed on the downloaded original website is basically the storage space required for the installation package. The installation package will be a compressed file. After you install, the compressed file will be released, so the storage space occupied by the application will increase. After the game runs, it will also produce a large number of game process files, game cache files, game junk files and so on. , and increase the content size of the game folder accordingly.

This problem has something to do with the download mechanism of steam:

1, steam shows that the game has 10G, so the ontology of this game after installation is 10G. Don't doubt, and don't listen to those people blind bb.

2. When downloading a game in steam, the game installation package, update package, etc. will be created first. In the download folder of the steamapps directory. After downloading, steam will automatically install them according to the path specified by the user. At this time, what occupies the hard disk in your computer is the game installation package+update package+game ontology. It must be much larger than 10G.

3. As mentioned by some brothers, the game will generate additional data, files and other files during the running process, which is not included in the introduction size of the steam game. There is no upper limit to this extra generated data. For example, if you play some architectural and commercial games, and you build a park and a city, the hard disk space occupied by the archived files will definitely be different, and the more hard disk space will be occupied later.

Don't worry about the first and second questions. In most cases, steam will automatically delete the installation package after the game is installed. If it is not deleted automatically, manually find the folder steamapps and delete the game installation package inside.

For the third question, there is no way, unless you are tired of playing with a bureau archive and delete it directly.
