What is how to uninstall steam?

Here's how to uninstall Steam:

  • On Windows:

    1. Close Steam completely. Make sure it's not running in the system tray.
    2. Go to the Control Panel.
    3. Select "Programs and Features" or "Uninstall a Program".
    4. Find Steam in the list and click "Uninstall".
    5. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the uninstallation.
    6. (Optional) Manually delete the Steam folder (typically located in C:\Program Files\Steam or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) to remove any residual files. Be aware this will remove all game data if the games are installed in the Steam folder.
  • On macOS:

    1. Quit Steam.
    2. Open Finder.
    3. Go to your "Applications" folder.
    4. Drag the Steam application to the Trash.
    5. Empty the Trash.
    6. (Optional) Remove Steam support files. These are located in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam and ~/Library/Caches/Steam. To access the Library folder, open Finder, click "Go" in the menu bar, and hold down the "Option" key. This will reveal "Library" in the menu.
  • Important Considerations:

    • Uninstalling Steam will remove the Steam client software from your computer.
    • Uninstalling Steam does not delete your Steam account.
    • Back up any important game files or save data before uninstalling, as the uninstallation process may delete them. Check where your games are installed before uninstalling. Games not installed in the Steam folder may be unaffected.
    • Deleting the Steam folder after uninstalling will remove all of your installed games if installed in the default location.
