Windows 10 'Apps and Features' taking up 890+ GB in my hard drive. Added up the space all my games are taking up and it only adds up to around 500 GB.

My PC has a 2TB hard drive, and I currently only have 866GB free. When I go into Settings and go to storage, it shows that my 'Apps and Features' take up around 890GB, which seems extremely high. All the other categories seem fine, only taking up around 20GB. I went into Steam/Uplay/Origin and added the games up they all only take up around 500GB. I don't have any large apps on here, so I don't know what's taking up so much space. 860GB is plenty of free room, but I still want to know what is taking up so much space on my PC. Is there anything you can think of, or anything I can do to check what is taking up so much?

I just downloaded and installed it, how exactly do I find what is taking up the space?
Edit: Nevermind, thanks for the help :)
 

Just run it. It should scan the drive and tell you where space is being used
 

Solution
Go to O&O Software GmbH – Creating Solutions for Windows™ and download AppBuster. It's a small free program to list all your windows 10 apps (not programs you installed) and click on which app is taking the most space in GBs. You might have bloated software installed.
