Windows 10: Uninstalled App still taking up storage space and can't be found.

I decided to uninstall Valorant because it was consuming way too much space for files of about 50 GB and the application was also another 50 GB. I decided to uninstall it from Control Panel but the storage space wasn't cleared, I couldn't find it in my C: Drive nor in Apps in Settings even though it showed that it was taking up the space but was unable to find it anywhere. My C: Drive storage excluding the app was 85 GB but the Disk Drive was used upto 130GB.I am now unable to delete the file nor can i find the file location. My recycle bin is also empty.

Storage Space

Surface Pro 3 storage space is low. Storage settings say that Apps and Games is using 17.5 GB but when I add up the space from the list of apps it is only 5.7 GB. What is taking up up the other ~12 GB and how do I free up space?

 

something is taking up all my space in my apps and features in storage

Hello,

I'm your Independent Advisor for today. I know this can be frustrating, but don't worry. I'm here to figure this out for you.

You can go to Settings > System > Storage to remove temporary files from your PC, and backup important files to an external hard drive or cloud storage. You might also want to uninstall apps you no longer use.

If your hard drive lacks space, I suggest replacing it with a hard drive with more capacity. You might need to reinstall Windows and your apps when you follow this step.

Hope this helps.

 

Why do apps take up more space than they indicate in the marketplace?

My phone is constantly running out of space so I decided to tabulate the amount of space that the games I have installed should take up.



To do this I went through the list on the marketplace and wrote down how much space each app is supposed to use. According to this all my games should take up around 2GB. I am using a Lumia 710 which should have 6.28GB of usable storage space. This made
me wonder what was taking up the other 4GB.



Since I needed space I uninstalled a few games. I then went to the about page under settings, which told me that I had 1.49GB of storage space remaining. I knew that I did not uninstall enough apps to free up this space.



I then went to the marketplace and reinstalled a game that I had just uninstalled. The app said that it required 124MB of space. After it was installed I returned to the about page and it said I had 993.56MB of free space.



So my question is:



Why does a game that is listed at 124MB take up over 500MB?
