SSD fills itself automatically

Hi guys, I have a problem with my SSD, it keep filling itself up, and I am forced to uninstall games to keep using my computer... I did a full system scan and no virus has been found, been deleting 4 games in total. My sdd is 512GB (476 usable) and 3/5 of it is filled with games. However the other 2/5, isn't 200GB, the files are only 30GB in total. So i'd like to know if anybody has a solution so I can find where those 170GB of storage have gone to.

Game updates can be several gb's these days - what games do you have installed?

The thing is, I don't know. I tried this app which shows all files and their size, but adding them up wasn't equal to 476GB

Try doing a disk cleanup for temporary files. Just hit your Windows key and type in disk cleanup. In that menu just look for the temporary files checkbox and whatever else that is taking up a ton of space.

only 400Mb deleted, also I looked it up again and now its actually 80GB that are gone, not 170
