    Why is Forza Horizon 5 taking up double the amount of storage than it should?


    I'm on PC, and I recently downloaded Forza Horizon 5 and found that it takes up 140GB of storage in both the Apps and Features and the Other categories of my storage. It currently takes up 280GB of storage as a result, which is a lot more than I think it should. Why is this? And if I delete the game from the Other section, will I still be able to play the game with all of my data, or will I lose progress/have to redownload it? TYIA.

    :)
