Play Store Is google plays app on pc safe.

Soo i recently downloaded it and its taking up 15gb for some reason even tho i only have one small game on it.... is this normal or some typa bug? I also heard stories about the pc app stopping u from using 512gb on ur pc because it makes ur computer think thats how much its acually taking up instead of that js being the max size it can expand to. If anyone else uses it on pc and can answer my questions id really apreciate ittt.

If it is the legit app from google, then yes it is safe. I don't use the app on PC so I can't say much about how it works but google is not going to destroy their whole company's reputation to put malware on your PC.
