Quick summary

Broken update takes space on drive.

Details

Adjust the title if needed, as not sure how properly name it.
Tried to install v01.51 update for GTAV from retail pkg (same with Bloodborne but it actually installed so retail pkgs work for updates yaay!) and emulator crashes, then shows correct version, but probably didn't unpack fully.

After a few attempts I've noticed that there's like 100GB gap between folder size and space taken on my drive:

Log files

N/A

System configuration

Operating System: macOS 15.1 (24B5035e)
SoC: Apple M1
RAM: 16 GB

It was macOS snapshot for whatever reason on drive that isn't associated with macOS at all, just leaving for a note.
As I had issues with PKG install at the time I thought some temp files were a cause of that instead of looking to Disk Utility first 🤦🏻
