Invisible game folder
So I installed Witcher 3, Dead by daylight and For honor on my [G] drive, and it's was 1TB/1.8TB. then I put some mods into witcher 3 folder, play some DBD and FH then shut down. And today all those 3 games disapear, it "not installed" but yet somehow the [G] drive still 1TB/1.8TB. I try to search for the folder via search index => nothing happen, I try to look into steamapp/common folder => nothing there, Repair steam Folder => still nothing. But the drive still stay the same, All my other steam games are untouched still normal like dota 2, pubg, cs:go, only the 3 game mention above took the hit. I went into control panel to try uninstall then reinstall, those 3 games still show up in program&features but I can't UNINSTALL them because to steam they are not even install yet to begin with. How should I fix this

Not working sir. It's said "windows cannot find "dir". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again"

If your command prompt doesn't know the "dir" command then your PC has more issues than not finding a game folder. Sounds like you typed the command in the search box rather than a command prompt window?

Run TreeSize. That should tell you what the space is used by.

You have any idea why this invisible thing happen. I played steam for many years and never encounter anything like this. Though this is my first time I MODing some game, more specific witcher 3 and I thought moding for this game is legal supported, At first I thought I was banned or some thing. Is this because of the mod...

So I used treesize and check all the [G] Drive. Seem like only "For honor" was left still hiding in other folder, but Witcher 3 and DBD seem to begone for good. I should redownload them. But then why are their uninstall icon still appear in control panel, that's a real myth

How's that a myth? The uninstaller never ran, it never had the chance to do its job which includes removing the icon. How is tue control panel supposed to know that tue files are gone?
