GoKawiilSteam and console uninstalls leave save files, shader caches and mods behind
Uninstalling a game on Steam or consoles removes only the files the platform originally installed, leaving behind saves, settings, shader caches, mods, crash dumps and screenshots scattered across other folders. Clearing this leftover data is largely a manual process, though shader caches can be safely deleted since games rebuild them automatically. Separately, an unverified PlayStation Store listing cited by the PlayStation Game Size account pegs Grand Theft Auto VI's PS5 download at 210GB, a figure Rockstar has not confirmed.
