Edit 2: This process of deleting old updates doesn't work now, as some files under pc folder were required. Doing so will get the game stuck on the miHoYo logo. Another method is to delete pc folder under "..\StreamingAssets\Asb\" BEFORE pressing Update on the launcher. This change probably took place when miHoYo became HoYoverse.

Edit: As of 4.1, old update files are deleted automatically AFTER a new update is downloaded and installed. Was only able to confirm at version 4.2 because they had the same behavior, so I guess it's fixed. Can still be helpful if you need storage space before updating the game.

Applies to SEA PC Client on Windows OS, not sure about clients of other servers if they have the same files and directory.
Only do this if you are desperate for storage like me or need to free up some storage XD

I asked people about this and most of them have around 23GB of HI3 installation, where 12GB of it are from 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 update (makes sense every update is around 4GB in PC).

First noticed this after updating to 3.8 when almost 5GB of drive's free space disappeared. I only had 10GB of free space at the time which is a big deal to me. No videos or articles on internet mention about HI3 PC increasing size so I made this.

Or just fresh install XD
