So I've recently went from dual-booting linux (mint specifically) to having it as my main system, everything went well except when I installed Steam, as it says that almost 70GB are being used by "Non-Steam", but according to the File System it shows that most of that used space doesn't exist
Disk space according to Steam, notice how it says I have 831GB free
Disk Space according to File System, it says I have 892GB free
Considering the size of the total drive it shouldn't bother me as much, but I've already installed a few things outside Steam, and the Non-Steam space kept increasing, so I can already see it causing me problems down the line, so I might as well try to fix it now
I've already tried every fix I could find for this issue online (Such as checking if its Snapshots, trying to make a separate library folder, Repair library, check via Disk Usage Analyzer and other similar software, and even fully uninstall/reinstall Steam), but nothing fixed this so far. Any help is appreciated!
Distro: Linux Mint 22 (kernel version: 6.8.0-51)
Steam version used: .deb from the official website
