Why do some Workshop mods use more space than their info says?

    Enduracers will also have a lot of templates, though they shouldn't take up that much space.

    But I guess they should be included in the size of the mod.

    I'm trying to figure out, and I also found that the Endurance Series mod has two version installed on my system (3.0 and 4.1), even though in the module manager it appears as only one version (4.1).

    Here's the space they take on the Installed folder:
    5,9G ER_Endurance_Series_rF2/4.1
    3,4G ER_Endurance_Series_rF2/3.00
    9,2G ER_Endurance_Series_rF2/

    I'm not implying there's something wrong but I'm trying to understand how it all fits together. My rFactor 2 folders take up 305GB and the corresponding workshop folder takes up 211GB because I have a lot of installed mods plus the official content.
