WIll you have to buy games again if you delete steam?

[IntroDuskey]

I am thinking about deleting and reinstalling steam because it doesn't seem to want to open and it gives me error messages. I recently got Undertale and i don't want to have to spend another 10 bucks to buy it again... Please help...

You can uninstall Steam, reinstall it, and sign into your account. All your games will still be there.

even your saves will be there

All game purchases are associated with your account, not the application install. You can use Steam on multiple devices and download/re-download as many times as you like.

If you are just reinstalling Steam, it will not delete your games.

the games are on your acct

you can install steam and log into your acct and download the games as many times are you need

You can put the games onto another drive location and let Steam install the games from that so that you do not need to redownload them. Like, put the game folders onto a secondary HDD if you have one.

No, they are tied to your account not your PC.

If you uninstall Steam it wont touch your games, but it's always worth backing up important data.
