This may not seem like much if you have Terabytes available, but on a 256 Gigabyte drive it is noteworthy considering that I currently have only five or so games installed on the system.
On my system, the packages used about 600 Megabyte of storage space. The path will also reveal the game it has been installed for. There you see the path it is stored on, its size and which package it is. A click on search scans all installed games and apps on Steam and displays the list of redistributable packages in list form afterwards.
You can change the folder if it is not the correct one. When you run the program it automatically tries to pick the folder Steam is installed in on the computer. Since Java is not safe to use right now, I suggest you either unlink Java from the web browser or use a portable version of Java instead.
Note that the program requires Java to run. It detects DirectX, VC Redistributable packages, Games for Windows Live, and other redistributable packages that get installed alongside games. The Steam Cleaner application takes advantage of that by giving you options to remove those files and folders from the system to free up disk space. These packages are run once when the game is started for the first time but are not needed after first run anymore. TikiOne Steam Cleaner is a free program for the Windows operating system that you can run to clear so called redistributable packages that are often found in game folders. If you prefer a client that does not require Java, try Steam Cleaner instead which is open source and supports Nexon, and UPlay as well. Update: The most recent version of TikiOne Steam Cleaner supports Steam, Origin and Gog installations. If you do not need Gigabytes of free space there may be another option for you to free up some disk space on drives Steam games are installed on. These games may take up a lot of space on the drives they are installed on and there does not seem to be a lot you can do about it other than uninstalling games, making sure you install them on other drives or moving the installed games to another location.
