Steam folder almost empty
So i installed Steam like 2-3 weeks ago, but only now i notice that my Steam folder has got only the "userdata" folder in it and nothing else. Once i clicked on the userdata folder i found just an empty folder called "123579653". I don't know what this issue's related to and don't know how to fix it, so... does anyone know how to fix this or i'll just have to install Steam again? Won't i loose all the games i have?

# This Folder 123579653 in USERDATA is a folder in which ur computer informations are saved ( Like SteamGuard Infos - ..... ) we can say it contain cookies

I just open Steam and it works as it should, the only problem i've got is the folder not having all the stuff it was supposed to have...

You can remove steam and reinstall it without losing game folders:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9609-OBMP-2526


If reinstalling Steam and Steam games in the near future, please move the Steamapps folder (C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps) outside of the Steam directory to prevent your games from being deleted. Additionally, backups of all game content can be created for reinstallation.

I'm not sure of this removes any screenshots that are not uploaded though. It would be easy enough to move them as well.


Not sure I'd bother if it's all working OK. Steam may just update it all at some point.

It is odd though.

I think you don't get the problem. There's no Steamapps folder in there...
