Maintenance for the week of April 6:

Game file size at 130GB - can't free up more space (Mac non-steam)
The game is meant to be 90GB at the very most so what is this rubbish

Merlight✭✭✭✭✭The game is about 75GB installed, but fresh install or update after a long time (that fails to do differential update) downloads 65GB in zips and then needs to unpack those. Try freeing 140GB, that should be more than enough for fresh install. If you have the game already installed, 70GB free should suffice for update/repair. No idea why they distribute zips that are practically non-compressible, because most game data files are compressed inside.

Why ESO needs a monthly subscription
When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Odd. You aren't, by chance, installing both the Live and PTS versions of the game, are you?

so basically i should delete everything and do a fresh download and install?

Hm. ZOS should say that in their literature on the subject. Everything I see says no more than 90GB to install.XBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

✭✭✭✭✭Looking at file size, it looks like you are installing it or maybe re-installing by any chance ?
On PC ESO requires approximately 70 gigs, but when you first install the game it requires twice as much since you have downloaded "install file" and you need to install them "somewhere" so the install files are deleted only after they are installed.
Maybe the game did not deleted the downloaded "install files" ?0 -

Wavek✭✭✭Assuming you do not have the PTS version installed, you may have multiple unnecessary language packs.
Go into your ESO installation and see if you have any VO_ folders. You only need one for your language. If you use English, you can keep VO_EN and remove the other VO_ folders.0
