Downloaded files are using up disk space
I wanted to update my BG3 today on my Mac. The disk ran full and the update terminated with a disk write error. To free up some space I decided to uninstall the game and install the updated version.
Unfortunately my free disk space is now below 100 GB while the game would use some 150 GB. Uninstalling the game should have freed up that much somehow but I assume that the downloaded update files are still around somewhere. But I can't figure out where.
Any ideas?

try Steam’s “downloading” and “patch” folders

Steam caches partially downloaded update files here:

~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/downloading/
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/temp/
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3/ (leftovers)

Check these first — you may find a folder named something like:

1086940 (BG3’s Steam App ID)
Delete any BG3-related folders (Steam must be closed).
