About zotero taking up too much storage

mengha
About the first time I used Zotero found that the software takes up more than 70GB of storage, but I only have 4 PDF files.

    That's about program files, not library data, and it's almost certainly just Windows lying to you. We don't know why it does that, but a few people have reported this.

    You can check the size of C:\Program Files\Zotero to see the actual usage. Zotero's program files use less than 200 MB.
