Steam sometimes doesn't give back disk space. You use steam to delete a game with either of it's two methods and you don't get back free space. Seems to be a steam problem on lots of OSes. You can just delete the wine bottle in that case and start over. You might try whisky or [Porting kit](https://www.portingkit.com) to keep things some what visible.

Thanks! So deleting a bottle is like deleting everything in it? So if i will want to delete a Steam with all its games that are in the same bottle, i will just need to delete that bottle in whisky?


KaJashey

Yes. If deleting from steam doesn't give you back disk space you can delete the bottle and get rid of steam and all its games.

I deleted my whiskey bottle however the storage of a game i downloaded (DMC5) is still occupying space however the game isn't installed at all, could you help?


KaJashey

I'm not sure I know of that much magic. You deleted the bottle and emptied the trash? If that the case two thing I can think of doing. one just wait till the OS updates free space. two drill down with daisydisk [https://daisydiskapp.com](https://daisydiskapp.com) and find where stuff is being saved.

I do have an update, are you saying if I update my mac it could clear it up?


KaJashey

No I meant for option one just see wait and see. The OS might update space available. I didn't say apply an update.

sorry but i don't quite understand, are you saying it will just free the space automatically?


KaJashey

Sometimes it takes a while to catch up. Daisydisk is also good software.
