    Hello Diogo

    My name is Dérek, I'm an independent platform consultant and I'm grateful for the opportunity to help you.

    In some cases the PC can really take a longer time to sync the deleted files, friend. It is common.

    But let's perform these procedures to speed up

    Let's try this IP and cache cleanup, please

    Type CMD in the search bar;

    Right-click on the Command Prompt option;

    Click on the Run as Administrator option;

    From the Command Prompt screen, execute the commands described below, pressing Enter at the end of each line:

    ipconfig /release <Enter>

    ipconfig /renew <Enter>

    ipconfig /flushdns <Enter>

    ipconfig /registerdns <Enter>

    nbtstat -rr <Enter>

    netsh int ip reset all <Enter>

    netsh winsock reset <Enter>

    These commands are for resetting IP configuration and network-related caches that may be stored on your computer.

    1.On the desktop, press the Windows + R keys simultaneously to open Run;

    2. At run type cleanmgr and click OK to open Disk Cleanup;

    3. In the Disk Cleanup window, select the C: drive (if asked) and click OK;

    4. In the Disk Cleanup for Windows 10 window, select the checkboxes for the files shown and click Cleanup System Files.

    5. After cleaning, check the checkboxes that are not checked again and click OK>Delete Files.

    If you still haven't released it, just wait a little longer, then sync these deleted files and the space is freed up

    Nothing yet, I forgot to mention I recently upgraded to windows 11, but downloaded the game whilst I still had windows 10 just thought I should mention it in case it affects anything.
