After moving steam to my ssd and i cut and pasted my steam library (steam apps) to a new folder to protect them. Anyway after doing that and uninstalling to put it on my SSD the size of my installs which previously took up my full 1tb WD HDD got about halved. From 97 mb left on my HDD to 443gb. Where has this space come from and how did i get it?? Thx

a few of your games probably had cached or temporary or update files.
