Storage issue

[QuantumBit]

So my boot SSD was nearly full, so I went to see what was taking up so much space. It turns out Overwatch was taking 20 GB, so I uninstalled it and rebooted my PC. But now instead of it having ~450 MB of storage left, it has 2.82GB. I was expecting more since I just deleted a 20 GB game. Any ideas on what happened?

the computer may have assigned more data to it because it saw the empty space and filled it because it is faster but I highly doubt that

maybe only part of overwatch was on the ssd and the rest was put on the hard drive due to lack of space

Still doesn't add up seeing that Overwatch is ~8GB when downloaded

Check if you can find the overwatch game folder, and remove it manually. Might have left some crap. Also check trash can thingy in windows.
