To uninstall Steam, just head over to your Control Panel on Windows, find 'Programs and Features,' scroll till you see Steam, click it, and then hit 'Uninstall.' Pretty straightforward. Reinstalling is just as easy: download the Steam installation file from the Steam website, run it, and follow the on-screen instructions to get your Steam up and running again!
