Does uninstalling Steam delete games?
Nope, uninstalling Steam itself doesn't automatically delete your games. The games are still there on your hard drive, but you will need to reinstall Steam to access them again. Make sure to backup your games if you plan a clean installation!

Hot take: Just keep Steam installed. Why bother uninstalling? It's the heart of PC gaming!
From experience, I uninstalled Steam and freaked out thinking all my games were gone. Turns out, they were just chilling in the same spot on my drive, waiting for Steam to come back. Reinstalled Steam, and it was game on again.
Yes and no. Technically, uninstalling Steam doesn't delete your games, but if you're not careful and choose to delete Steam's installation folders without backing up, you could lose your game files. So, tread carefully!
