I recently uninstalled a game from my PC, but I noticed that the disk space it used hasn't changed, and it looks like there are still files taking up a lot of space. I checked the system settings, and it seems like around 90 GB is still categorized under memory usage, but I've tried various methods to recover the disk space with no luck. I want to know if anyone has dealt with this issue and can provide some tips. Is there a way to clear this leftover data, or could there be another cause for the space being occupied?

Before you make any major adjustments, always ensure your data backups are up to date. Modifying your BIOS or disk configurations could risk losing data.
Have you tried using WizTree? It’s a great tool that shows you exactly which files are taking up space on your disk. You might be able to track down the leftover game files this way.
Here's a screenshot of what I found using it earlier; it really helps!
Keep in mind that the system storage settings can sometimes be misleading. Make sure to check the game launcher (like Steam), as it might still have some leftover files or cache not reflected in the usual storage settings.
I checked it out, but it didn’t show any results for me.
