NOTE: AS OF JUNE 2023, STEAM NOW "CLEANS UP AFTER YOU". THIS MEANS IT WILL NUKE THE COMPATDATA FOLDER AND THE SHADERCACHE FOLDER FOR YOU. THERE IS STILL USEFUL INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO SO IT WILL STAY UP.

There seems to be some confusion about non-steam games, orphaned files and folders and how the dang OTHER storage gets so full so fast.

We're going to go over all the components that make up a non-steam game install - then we'll show you how to clean up after yourself to maximize your free space when removing these tricky installs.

If you've been wondering why your uninstalls aren't freeing up space? This video is for you.

DISCLAIMER: This video is intended to be introductory and will not cover every possible contingency or situation regarding Steam vs Non-Steam games. As always, deleting anything from your Deck can carry some risk which is the burden of the user. This channel is not responsible for any lost data on your part - always make backups of content before you delete anything if you're uncomfortable with what you're doing.

If you don't have protontricks installed, do so from the Discover store app.
