My steam userdata file is 11gb???

[nutscratcher268]

So i'm running on low disk space and deleting any useless files in my pc, and I found out that my steam userdata file is 10gb? Is it possible for me to delete it?

Edit: I've noticed that 10gb of the file is in a folder called ugc???

Screenshots taken but not uploaded to your profile. Delete if you wish to lose them.

Your userdata folders include screenshots, game files at times, and a lot of other things required for your games to run.

Go into your userdata / numbers <- that's you / 760 / remote folder. That will have your screenshots for the games you play. If you take a lot of screenshots, they'll be in among those numbered folders (those are the GAME ID numbers). You can safely MOVE those, copy them to another location like a zip or external drive and delete them from the 760/remote/# folder, but don't expect Steam to find them later, they're on their own now.

But no, you can't remove the userdata folder and expect anything to work. It's literally... the data that Steam games require to recognize that you are the owner of the game, and many other things stored in those folders.

Also, you have like 2 or 3 GAMES.


HOW MANY SCREENSHOTS DO YOU TAKE, man?

You see, what's weird is i've never taken any screenshots in this acc lol so I don't know what caused the file to be so huge

Properly enough that it would be better to record video instead.

Then go looking into the folder.

Are there perhaps multiple USERS on that computer? because ... I mean, I take screenshots literally every time I play, every game I play, and mine's still under 3gb. And I have actually-scores of games on my account, but only one account.

Do you take videos in-game? I mean, 11g is a LOT for so few games that you don't take screenies in.

when you open a game in steam library it downloads pictures from community content and never deletes them
