I removed some games and suddenly my D drive is gone

[Kkuk_GGom]

I was about to play Terraria with my friends so I clicked download

Then I realized I had so many games downloaded while Im not playing those games, so I clicked remove game in Steam

but then suddenly my D drive is gone and all of my files and things that were in D drive is gone too

HELP

Open Windows' disk management console and see if the drive is still there in SOME form.

Otherwise, consider that drive faulty.

Is the D drive an external drive?

I tried it but there is nothing. is there any other incident where steam just gets rid of d drive? because my d drive was there, working just fine, and i've been using other programs in my d drive until i clicked download and delete game @ steam

my d drive is in form of ssd 1 terrabyte

Please explain removed from Steam. They should still be there in the library just uninstalled.
Steam requires the acf or appmanifest files in Steamapps to show steam games are installed. If they are removed then Steam will nolonger see your games as installed.

Check in the downloader manager is the drive listed there?
Restart Steam insure drive is connected properly before logging back into Steam.
If the link from Steam to USB drive is lost the library could cause this.
Reconnect the USB drive.

Rightclick the games missing in library and verify game files.

[ReBoot]

Steam is a user-mode program. It can't change ♥♥♥♥ about drives available to the system. All it can do, is trigger an issue caused by something else.

Just to get this straight, are you using Steam to check whether the driver is there, or Windows?

#5 yes i mean uninstall from steam. Sorry for wrong usage of vocabulary, english is not my 1st language. I tried everything and D drive is just gone, like GONE. tried reconnecting, but is just gone and i have no idea what to do. Game is not my issue anymore, all my other files are gone with d drive. and the only thing that comes to my mind that put me into trouble is downloading and uninstalling games at steam at the same time, because ive been using other sns programs that was downloaded in d drive until i did the downloading and uninstalling at steam.

i had my c drive as windows and d drive for other files

So it's the D Drive is an external drive?

So, the PC isn't reading/mounting/showing the D drive when you plug it in, and it's not listed in My Computer?

What do you mean by "reconnecting"?

[Kkuk_GGom]

#9 yes
#10 I physically removed the ssd line and reconnected it just to see if it will appear but didnt work

[ReBoot]

Have you looked into the disk management console yet?

[Kkuk_GGom]

#12 yes already done it too, but only C drive appears and reconnecting or researching wont show me my d drive

[Kkuk_GGom]

and thankyou for helping me by the way

[Kkuk_GGom]

All i can do is just to guess that installing and uninstalling steam games at the same time was toooo much work for my 1 terra ssd, and it decided to die...
