Screenshots remain after deleting from disk?

[Tempest]

I'm running out of room on my hard drive. I have a large number of screenshots saved to my Steam cloud. If I delete them from my hard drive, will they still be stored in my Steam cloud?

Also, are the uploaded screenshots in my Steam cloud the same size and resolution as the original files on my hard drive?

You get to choose whether you delete it from Steam as well. The uploaded ones are AFAIK the same.

Thanks. If I just use Windows 10 and navigate to the file and delete it, are you saying it is still saved in Steam? I appreciate your blazing fast reply!

You'd still need to delete the thumbnail. You can delete the local screenshots using Steam's own screentshot management tool, that'll delete everything belonging to the screenshot.

Just make sure that if you do WANT them, you have to manually upload them to Steam if they're not already there. AND that there's limited space there. I'd just more recommend putting them on a spare flash drive.

Ok, thanks guys.

Also, screenshots don't take a lot of space. You'll probably need to look for something that actually does to get a noticeable amout of disk space freed -- like deinstalling some large games.

True.
