So I have Half Life2 and Cs source installed on my machine and it takes 16 gb of space.
Is there any way I can cut this down?

Probably a lot of that space being used is due to sprays in CS: S and those annoying "First Kill", "God Like"; sound files that servers try to make you download.

I've got HL, TFC, DoD, CS, HL:Source, Blue Shift, HL 2, Lost Coast, CS: Source, DoD Source, HL 2 Deathmatch, and HL Deathmatch: Source installed. All that is only using 9.8 gigs of space. Something ain't quite right in your steam folder. Maybe someone has been hiding porn in there.

16GB should not be a big fat hunk of your hard drive. If it is you need more HD.

Just a few years ago, games used to take ~1 gig of space and I thought that was a lot.
Nowadays you need 8 gigs for the standard game.

you dummy. lol. thats just the Steam program in the add or remove programs. your actual Steam file with the games is much bigger. mine is 10.6 gig with HL2, Ep1, CSS and a couple mods.Originally posted by: potato28
Wow. My Steam is only taking 1.22 mb on my hard drive, but CSS and Garry's Mod are seperate files.

and its out of control
Between my XBOX stuff, music, photos, and windows, takes about 180gb leaving me 120gb or so for games and apps (office, vs.net, etc) in the end I can only have like steam+5 other games installed at any one time...
and then to top it off they make you leave the DVDs in the drive.
Arses.
Every time I want to play a new game its a search to see which one I can uninstall.

I just reinstalled Steam and just Cs source.
"only" 4.5 gigs. I might want to install HL2 later on.
I had so much junk in my steam folders. I forgot to save all my key binds and I forgot how to do them. What a pain in the a$$.

Even then, 16GB seems excessive.

Meh, they can make it 100gb if they want. Nobody forced you to buy it.
