All of my steam games gone. Poof. Nothing in the steam/steamapps directory except sourcemods.

I had a bit of hardware issus before this occurance, I had a bsod and my system not post for a while until I fixed it. The funny thing is that I was playing Rainbow 6: Seige earlier today and last night, fine. I had over 150gb+ of games installed, and they are not in the dir anymore. Is this a corrupt hard drive problem? A windows issue? Or am I on a prank youtube channel... I'm so confused right now.

This is not a joke. I will be linking screenshots.

1. So the folder Steam > Steam app > common is gone?

2. How many HDD/SSD you have installed on your system?

3. How many custom download folders for Steam to store your games?

1. Yes. Check the screenshot above.

2. I have 1 HDD, no SSD's at the time.

3. No custom. I have never messed with steam's default download library.

To be honest, I don't know if it could be a malware issue, I downloaded the trial for malware bytes and got 1 adware, which just affects ad's and pop ups but that's it.

Seems like the steam library folder just uped and left my HDD, without any warnings.

I haven't restarted my pc yet because I'm scared I'll lose all my adobe projects and all of my documents if my hard drive is corrupted.

Did you recently update to the 1809 Windows?

Let me see.
EDIT: Nope, according to window's update history, it says: "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803"

Has the space available on your drive gone up?
Do you share your PC with anyone?

No, my space on my drive has not gone up. I was trying to install wildlands the other day, it took such a long time to get to 50% on allocating space because I only had 73 gbs left. I cancled it, deleted all the stuff in the download folder, and it was instant. There was about 140 gbs cleaned from my downloads, and I installed the game perfectly on Friday.

No I do not. Even if my mom or dad logged in with my password they do not know, they do not know how to get to the c drive directory when I help them print documents.

Download something like WinDirStat and see if you can locate the files?
Did you check the recycle bin in case they were moved there?

I have checked the recycle bin, nothing there.
No, I haven't installed WinDirStat. Downloading it now.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! I found them! Thanks man! I didn't want to download that much and waste my data usage on my wifi. They are in a found.000 folder on the c drive. You can't see it in the file manager. Must got misplaced in a bluescreen diag.

I didn't notice this, but 80% of my files in the c drive are in that found.000 folder. You are a life saver.
