Where to check wheres everything installed?
By default, Steam stores these shaders at /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/shadercache/ where each directory is named after the relevant game’s Steam app ID. (For example, 1551360 is the app ID for Forza Horzion 5, whose shader cache takes up 8.9 gigabytes on my Steam Deck!) I wouldn’t really recommend deleting these caches, but you can use tools like Shader Cache Killer or CryoUtilities or Storage Cleaner for Decky to better manage these shaders– or just uninstall the relevant games that take up too much space. There’s tons of YouTube videos out there that can help you with this.

Would this be a better buy than the 512?
To clear them out you need special programs (careful, when clearing out compatdata on games, as those are the fake windows folders (one per game) also savefiles are stored there, back them up, if they arent cloud synced, also dont delete a compat folder of a random unnamed small thing, because that might be the protons versions compatdata folder, and doing that would ruin the functionality of that entire proton versiion until and uninstall reinstall of that proton version) like https://github.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Shader-Cache-Killer
- What is this "other" files? And how do i delete them?

Day 1 help. Games not loading
Last but not least, some games break, after you change proton versions via force compatibility - they are in the vast minority but it happens. In which case before switching to a new proton version its also recommended to kill compatdata for that game (can be done via https://github.com/scawp/Steam-Deck.Shader-Cache-Killer or CryoUtilities. Make sure to only kill them for the game, and not for unknown or all uninstalled games - as if a mishap happens there and you kill the compatdata folder for an entire Proton install, that version is then borked for every game - so dont.)

- Why is all my internal storage all taken up even tho it’s only just proton
-
Internal storage storage full
I believe there is an option to send shader cache to the SD card. Also, https://github.com/MiaPepsi/DeckCleaner/releases
- Ok As To My Previous Post About My New SD Card, I Now Have Virtually No Internal Storage, How Do I Reduce The Amount Of Other? is It All Shader Cache? If So How Do I Move It To The SD Card? Thanks
- How do I clear the download cache on the steam deck?
-
is the 64 gb model enough if i will use an sd card?
I use Deck cleaner when I uninstall games it removes leftover shader caches from games you have uninstalled.
-
is there a tool to automatically removed all unused files on the sd drive?
Deck Cleaner. It doesnt get rid of proton versions, that I know of, but it will scrub shader caches and proton prefix folders for games no longer installed.
- Why is internal drive almost full when there are just proton versions at about 1gb and no games? What gives?
-
How can I check what's taking so much in "other" section on my main drive?
There’s an app that will do this exact thing, only need to run it once and it’ll point all your shader caches to the current SD card that is installed, it’ll only copy the cache to the SD card if the game that needs it is on the SD card, it’s called Deck Cleaner
- This enormous 'Other' keeps growing even though I have no games internally. How do I clear it?
-
I'm losing space to updates?
This is the GitHub for it https://github.com/MiaPepsi/DeckCleaner/releases
