Can i move my steam games to an external hard drive?

I have a gaming laptop because i travel but i have a low storage capacity(250gb)and i cant download big games now because i have no memory left and all my memory is on games,i have an external hard drive (1tb) but i cant seem to be able to drag the games into the harddrive and delete it from my pc,any way i can do something like that?

Use Steam to create a second Steam library on that external drive. You can do that from the client settings under DOWNLOADS - Manage content locations on multiple drives.
After a new library has been created on the external drive, right click a game in your library, choose "PROPERTIES" - LOCAL FILES - MOVE INSTALL FOLDER and the game will be moved to the new library on the external drive. After the move has been completed the space will be free on your main drive.
The game can be played like always and will start from the external drive.
