Completly removing game

[Workforce47]

If and its a big if .If i remove my game from Steam not just an uninstall . Does all my Steam cloud data go with it ? I know I would have to clean the games files etc from my PC as well .
I've got a problem with a game and i thinks the could data causing the game not to run correctly .
If the data stays in the cloud and if I was to buy the game again would I still have the same problem .

Deleting the game files after uninstalling does not erase cloud data as it is on valves server, idk why you want to delete it before clicking the uninstall option. And uninstalling a game and deleting the files does not remove the license from your account, you can redownload the game even on different computers. Imagine the outrage and steam being burned to the ground if it worked how you mentioned.

I would just uninstall the game and re-install it. If your afraid of cloud data, disable it, usually it will ask which save you want after you turn the cloud back on, and just pick the local file in stead of the cloud save.

If you remove a game from your Steam library, including all associated game files on your PC and uninstall it, your Steam cloud data will typically be retained for that game. Steam cloud data is often designed to be persistent, so it can be used to synchronize your game progress and settings across multiple devices or to recover your game progress if you ever reinstall the game.

However, whether the Steam cloud data is causing problems with the game or not depends on the specific issue you're facing. If you suspect that the cloud data is causing the game not to run correctly, you can try the following steps:

Back up your cloud data: Before removing the game, you might want to back up your cloud save data. To do this, right-click on the game in your Steam library, go to Properties, and then under the Updates tab, check the "Enable Steam Cloud synchronization" option. This will ensure that your game data is saved to the cloud. If you experience problems later, you can restore your saved data.

Verify game integrity: If you have issues with the game, it's a good idea to verify the integrity of the game files first. This can often resolve common problems without deleting and reinstalling the game. To do this, right-click on the game in your Steam library, go to Properties, and click on "Local Files" then "Verify integrity of game files."

Remove the game and its cloud data: If verifying the game files doesn't resolve your issue, you can try removing the game and its cloud data. Uninstall the game through Steam, then manually delete any residual game files in your Steam directory on your PC. You can also delete the cloud data for that game by going to the Steam Cloud settings. Keep in mind that this will delete your progress, and if the issue was related to your cloud data, this might resolve it.

Reinstall the game: After removing the game and its cloud data, you can reinstall the game from your Steam library. This should provide a clean slate and might help resolve the issue.

If you buy the game again in the future, you will start with a fresh cloud save unless you restore the backed-up cloud save data. If the issue was related to the cloud data, starting fresh should ideally resolve the problem. However, if the issue was something else, it may still persist. In that case, you may need to troubleshoot the issue further or contact the game's support

You can't buy the game again. Even when Steam support removes a game from your library all they're doing is hiding it. The product key is still registered to you and you can restore it at any time.
