    How do I get my disk space back each time I upgrade the editor? Also, how do I actually get the editor to upgrade? I installed the 'latest version', which didn't seem to match the version it claimed I was being linked to, but after the install was completed, I was short another 6 gb of space, and in Unity Hub, I still only have one version of the editor available.

    I need to know what files are taking up that space so I can delete them, I can't keep moving other files off of the system disk to accommodate Unity.

    Thanks.

    Turns out, I should have used the "Install Editor" button in Unity Hub, rather than following the link that the Editor produces when it warns you a new version is available. That link isn't necessary if you have Unity Hub installed, and the file it downloads is rather large and in my case, installed 6gb of Visual Studio, which I don't use. In this case, it only installed the new version on the large disk I was using for Unity, whereas Visual Studio grabbed 6gb on my system disk (I had to uninstall it.)
