PSA: Check your Windows folder.

I was cleaning up my SSDs today and I was wondering why my Windows folder hit over 70GB. Turned out, I had a copy of Content.ggpk in the System32 and SysWOW64 folders, bother over 20GB in size. My Windows is down to 20GB now.

This should be looked into, big files like that being written inside the system folder and never deleted is, well, not nice, to say the least.

i think that's going to be something on your end as i've had the content.ggpk anywhere but the game folder it is supposed to be in, and i just checked it there and nothing

Well obviously this is not going to affect everyone and I have no idea how those files ended up there, but I definitely didn't hide them in there myself so maybe the attention should be shifted to the origin of those files...

This has been happening to people for a decade now. Might be a matter of temporary files and/or an interrupted installation or something, but why of all places is the installer using the system folder?
