Well, considering the full install of GTA V is around 60GB, it's no surprise that it's taking up around half of your 120GB SSD...

That they do, but you'd be suprised how many people out there have no idea how to properly manage their storage.  After all we are talking about someone who couldn't figure out why why a 60gb game was taking up half a 120gb drive.........

i think his issue was that allocation for the steam library was taking up more than it should have

If it was talking up half his drive as he said, then that would be perfectly normal per size of the game.  Not trying to argue, just pointing out that nothing is wrong.
