    Consider this: why do you have 2TB of games installed?

    IDK what your gaming habits are, but I find myself bouncing between a few at most, 1 big AAA at most, and found keeping the rest… to be blunt, data hoarding.

    I suppose the only exception is modded setups, it even then I always redo them anyway since the base games, modding frameworks and mods get updated over time.

    You can redownload what you use, progressively.

      I have very bad internet, so I tend to prefer to keep my games installed, rather than wait 24 hours to download a 60gb game again. I still log on to things like MH world or DJMax respect V every now and then for a few rounds, they’re fun to go back to

      Similarly, like you said, I have a lot of mods installed. To the point where my backup mod folder on my external hdd is about 100GB in size, so I’m a little worried about spending hours tracking down all my mod lists again

      I’ve transferred about 400GB in (legally sourced) roms to my steam deck, so I thought there’d be a way to do this, but oh well
