the game isnt installed tho the 73 gigs are just unused and cant be used

Delete the files.

 

There's probably a hidden file (or folder full of files) eating that space up.

So I accidantly validated about 70 gigabytes to game I dont want to install on my hard drive how do I remove validated space cause i cant use those 70 gigs of storage now I have 1tb hard drive split to 2 local disks one of them (the one where I validated the space)has a game on its own nothing else I cant delete the files so for example I have 500 gigs if i validate 70 I will have 430 usable nothing is inside the hard drive but still 70 gigs are validated how do I unvalidate

Use TreeSize Free in admin mode and see where the space is used.

 

You probably have MS store packages installed on that drive, and they'll be in a hidden folder.
