What is Steam?
Steam is a digital distribution platform for video games. It was developed by Valve Corporation and was first released in 2003. Steam offers digital rights management (DRM), matchmaking servers, video streaming, and social networking services. It also provides the user with installation and automatic updating of games, and community features such as groups, user-generated guides, developer commentary, and cloud saves.
The Benefits of Uninstalling a Steam Game
When you uninstall a game through Steam, it will remove all files related to the game from your computer. This can free up a lot of space on your hard drive and help improve your computer’s performance. If you ever decide to reinstall the game, you can do so from your Steam library.
Uninstalling a Steam game also remove any saved games and user data associated with the game. If you want to keep this data, you can backup your Steam user data before uninstalling the game. You can find your Steam user data folder by going to “Steam > Settings > Downloads”.
