Why is my steam workshop taking up 50gb of space?

[Cantaloupeman]

So I only have 3 games installed on my SSD. Rust, GTA V, and Arma 3. It says those games take up 132gb of space. On the other hand I have a few games on my HDD (like 3 or 4 right now). My steam workshop folder is taking up 50gbs of space and I'm not sure why. Does anyone have any idea? I don't know how the workshop works.

Steam workshop is always in the master Steam folder AFAIK.  Also, some mods are HUGE.

Thats the thing. I have no mods installed. I also just cleared the download cache and uninstalled all the games from my pc, but they still somehow appear when I scan the disk using treesize.

Delete the folder.

 

Any mods you are subbed to will be in there, even if the game is not installed.

If you don't want the mods anymore unsub them in steam too, so they will not be downloaded again.
