Uninstalling Steam will indeed delete your game saves. When you uninstall Steam, it removes all the games you have installed through the software, including their saved data and other downloadable content. This means that any progress you have made in your games, such as completed levels, unlocked items, or achieved goals, will be lost.
Losing game saves can be quite frustrating, especially if you have invested a significant amount of time and effort into progressing through a game. It can feel disheartening to see all your hard work disappear in an instant. Personally, I have experienced this frustration when I accidentally uninstalled a game without backing up my saves, resulting in the loss of hours of gameplay progress.
It is important to note that some games may store their save files in different locations outside of the Steam installation directory. In these cases, uninstalling Steam may not directly delete your saves. However, if you uninstall the games themselves, either through Steam or manually, it will still result in the removal of your saves.
To avoid losing your game saves, it is always recommended to back them up before uninstalling Steam or any games. Many games provide an option to manually backup your saves, either through an in-game menu or by locating the save files in the game’s installation folder. Additionally, you can also use third-party software or cloud storage services to keep a copy of your game saves.
Uninstalling Steam will delete the games you have installed, along with their saved data and other downloadable content. It is essential to remember to back up your game saves before uninstalling Steam or any of your games to prevent the loss of your progress.
