So, we all probably know warzone take ~134GB, Update usually ~23-40GB… can we just uninstall the game and reinstall it saving space?!?????

That is not how updates work, they don't add that much to the game, it over-writes the files being updated, adds any missing pertinent files. Any thing not used is cleared out. At most you see an increase of a few megabytes.

The only time you see an actual perceptive increase of the file folder is if a new extension or added game material is part of the update.
