Uninstalling the game won't free allocated space

Hello I have this weird problem after uninstalling the game, I checked the folders and indeed it was uninstalled but my SSD still tallies the amount taken by the game. Halp!

    Alright so I didn't use spacesniffer but windirstat rather and it somehow seemed to fix the problem but I'm not exactly sure how.

    Thanks for your help!

    @Gargamel314 Not sure if sarcastic but I did again and it changed nothing.

      (assuming you're on a PC)

      If you uninstalled via Origin, you are most likely good to navigate to C:\Program Files x86\Origin Games and delete the entire Jedi Fallen Order directory. On my PC, it occupies 54.8GB and that's where it's located.

        As I said, all files are gone, but my ssd still shows the amount of space with the game even though it is uninstalled and yes I checked the Origin games folder.

        It is a problem of allocation, I'd wager it has something to do with reg keys but I'm not super comfortable going in there without knowing exactly what I'm looking for.
