Similar to the TikiOne Steam cleaner tool that looks for C#/Java/DirectX runtime redistributables that you can use to get back some storage? You know when you download a game for the first time and run a DirectX installer? You probably don’t need a million variations of the same file because they’re all operating on the assumption that you’re running your first game on a free install of Windows because without them, their game doesn’t work.
I’m sick of having massive audio pack files in 12 different languages in uncompressed FLAC. The Elder Scrolls Online (fully voiced) has them pre-sorted and I was able to shave off 22GB by deleting German and French alone. I can only imagine how much space I’d save by deleting it across every game I have installed.
