Steam Client Bug - Registry keys not properly being set after deleting/installing content
Hi,

I believe I may have found a "bug" in the Steam Client. Deleting game content doesn't activate Windows' uninstall of that game. I presume it just, you know, deletes the game's content. The issue is that there is a registry key, InstallLocation in LocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Steam App 244210 (Assetto Corsa in my case) which remains after Steam has deleted the game files.

Reinstalling the game through steam does _not_ update this key.

I don't even know if you'd consider this a bug but since I came across it, I figured I might as well report it.

I forgot one main part (heh).
If you delete the game content, that registry key remains. Then if you reinstall the game AND CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE INSTALL, the game gets installed and that key is not updated.

Sorry about that.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if that would work since I wasn't using the beta client but I will repost there.
