whatever i start a map on gmod, the game liteally wastes over 33GB and when i exiting the game it gives me 26GB Back, can anyone tell me why? i have over 363 addons and i never seen that issue coming before. thank you

#

that cannot be possibly true

#

the only reason the game would write that kind of file sizes to disk, is when extracting workshop addons. The only time it would do this, if you deleted the cache/ folder, or installed dozens of hundreds of addons for the first time

#

and it would not delete them

#

perhaps you have the Steam Game Recording feature on? Or some 3rd party tool that does the same?

you can use tools such as "Process Monitor" to see what files Garry's Mod accesses

Process Monitor - Sysinternals

Monitor file system, Registry, process, thread and DLL activity in real-time.
