Quick question...
I have one Steam account.
On my laptop, I have a user/login setup for me, and one for my spawn.
They play Rainbow Six under their side...I never do on mine.
Does Steam download it twice (one for each user)?
I am trying to free up space on my HDD...and Siege is 60gig!
|
I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends. 
Three!! Three successful trades! Ah ah ah!

!
No. You can test this using any application that both of you have access to that's not currently installed (a free application will work if there aren't any paid games that neither of you have installed). When one Steam profile installs the game, it's immediately available and ready to play on the other profile too. Another thing that you can do is to check a game that only one of you owns, but that is being shared with the other account on that computer. Only the owning account will have installed the game. But it will still be available to play on the account that it's being shared with.

I kind of thought that was the case.
Damn....now I need to figure out where all this space is being eaten up then.

Have a look at Treesize - it'll show you how big folders & sub-folders are.

Have you checked your recycle bin? I noticed an accumulation of storage space a while back on my machine, and it turns out my “deleted” files were not deleted until I deleted them in the recycle bin.
