How big is your Steam folder?

I went hunting for what was taking up so much space on my drive and found that my Steam folder is 113gig
Now I am quite sure that this will be miniscule compared to Memphis's effort, but even still, it's a meating folder...

Currently 163GB with a fraction of my library installed. My main OS and critical programs runs off of a 128GB SSD, so I use
Steamtool to manage my library, keeping my most played current game on the SSD and moving others to a traditional 1TB HDD when not in frequent use.
It's really quick to transfer even the largest game installs to or from the SSD using this tool.
The games are still playable when they've been transferred to the 1TB drive as Steamtool uses symbolic links and makes use of NTFS junctions, so to all intents and purposes Steam thinks these games are still on your C drive.
I just wish Valve would add this functionality directly to Steam.

I just manually shunt games across back and forth from my Steam folder on the SSD to a 1TB mechanical drive. Currently 30GB on the SSD and 170GB on the other one.

I just reformatted my hard drive, so I only have a small handful of the games I actively play installed. Maybe 25GB ish? I have all of the Humble Indie Bundles, but those games are typically pretty small in filesize. So even if I installed everything, I don't have much.
I'm sure Fury has you guys beat. He has like 200 games or something. Psycho.

Mine's 136 GB.
And I'm sure Brisk's Valve folder is just enough to hold the freebies you get installing Steam...because he doesn't buy games.
