I Deleted Fortnite But It Freed Up No Space

I deleted Fortnight from my iMac (Retina, 5k 27-inch 2020;MacOS Big Sur Version 11.73) but it didn't free up any space according to About This Mac > Storage. I tried rebooting the iMac but I still didn't get back all the space that it was saying Fortnite takes up on my hard drive. How can I recover that lost space?


Thanks.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.7

Hello AdmrlLocke, 

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. 


Please be sure to follow these instructions when removing any software from your Mac: Uninstall apps on your Mac


If you have already moved the app to the Trash, you may need to empty the Trash to permanently delete the files. 


All the best!
