When you uninstall a game on Steam, it removes all the game files from your computer. This includes the main executable file, any DLC (downloadable content) you may have installed, and any saved data associated with the game. Essentially, uninstalling a game on Steam is like deleting it from your computer entirely.
One important thing to note is that uninstalling a game on Steam will permanently delete your saved data. This means that any progress you have made in the game, such as completed levels, unlocked items, or completed quests, will be lost. It’s always a good idea to back up your saved game files before uninstalling a game if you want to keep your progress.
Additionally, any updates or patches that were downloaded and installed through Steam will also be removed when you uninstall a game. So, if you decide to reinstall the game in the future, you will need to download and install all the updates again.
Uninstalling a game on Steam is relatively easy. You can do it by following these steps:
1. Open the Steam client on your computer.
2. Go to your “Library” tab, which displays all the games you have installed through Steam.
3. Right-click on the game you want to uninstall and select “Uninstall” from the drop-down menu.
4. A confirmation window will appear, asking if you are sure you want to uninstall the game. Click “Delete” to proceed.
5. Steam will then start uninstalling the game, removing all the associated files from your computer.
It’s important to keep in mind that uninstalling a game on Steam does not remove it from your Steam library. The game will still be visible in your library, but it will be grayed out with the option to install it again if you change your mind in the future.
When you uninstall a game on Steam, all the game files, saved data, DLC, and updates associated with the game will be permanently removed from your computer. It’s crucial to back up your saved game files if you want to keep your progress, and you can easily uninstall a game through the Steam client by following a few simple steps.
