Deleting game data on Steam is pretty straightforward but depends on what you exactly mean by 'game data.' If you're talking about uninstalling a game, just right-click the game in your Steam library, hit 'Manage,' and then 'Uninstall.' Voilà, game be gone! But if you're aiming to wipe saved game files, you might need to dig around in the game's folder in your Steam directory (usually under 'steamapps') or look for the save files in your 'Documents' folder on your PC. Some games also sync their saves to Steam Cloud, and for those, you'll need to disable Steam Cloud for that game and then delete the saves.

Actually, deleting saved game files directly from the folder is the only way to truly 'delete game data' for most games. Uninstalling doesn't always remove these files, so you gotta do the digging yourself.
