Just found 80 GB of free disc space on my Mac Desktop
Yesterday I was in my Documents, Native Instruments folder and realized that I had copies of my Traktor Pro going back to version 2.1. That meant I had about nine copies of all the updates to get to my current Pro version 3.11.1. So each of my versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ….and so on had 6 1/2 GB to each version. They never went away when I updated Traktor Pro 3. I carefully deleted about 4 of the very oldest and tried then to open Traktor Pro 3. No problem! So I then deleted probably another 9 more updates to leave only my current Traktor Pro 3.11.1. I then opened my Traktor 3.11.1 and no problem whatsoever. So I ended up deleting over 80 GB of these past copies no longer needed. When you go from 165 GB of free space to over 260 GB, that’s exciting. You might want to check on your Native Instruments Folder in your Documents. You can delete all the copies of the previous versions to having only the current version. Hope I helped you!

It has always been a feature for Traktor Pro 2 and 3 updates to make backups before updating.
Here are two NI support articles to explain the rationale behind this feature:
