[SOLVED] Steam games say uninstalled but still taking up space

[BobMcSmith]

Hello! I am in need of space on my computer, and so I went to my storage settings. My biggest folder is my Steam games. However when I went to check what games were in it, most of the storage was being taken up by games I had already deleted. It seems like Steam just rendered the games unplayable without actually removing any of the files. Is there an actual way to delete the games aside from just dragging them to the trash bin? Thanks!

Most programs are not removed by just deleting them.

You should open the Windows Control Panel and use the Add/Remove Programs section. Most programs come with an uninstaller to easily remove them.

It says it's deleted there too.
