Stop using Program Files folder as Steam library.
Stop using Program Files folder as Steam library folder. That IS NOT a place I want to install games into.

Allow multi steam library folder co-exist in a single drive partition.

Allow remove default steam library folder.

I install steam on my E-drive and thats where everything, including my steam library folder is located.

What is the exact problem you are having/trying to solve?
You seem to understand that you can create a Steamlibrary wherever you like, including on a separate partition. You don't have to install games to the Programs files folder.

Being able to remove the default Steamlibrary (in the Steam Installation folder) however is something I'd also like to do. I install all games to a separate SSD, so don't use the default library, It is however easy to install there by mistake.

You can

1) add a steam library on a separate drive in the settings under downloads

2) set the other drive as default installation point

My Steam folder is on D:\Steam.

I'vd had games isntalled on C:\Steam before, while the main Steam folder (with the Steam install) was still on the D drive.

You can change where top install games.

Windows tends to have programs located in a programs folder so people can easily find them. It is also split between one for 32 bit programs and another for 64 bit programs.

Im trying to create a seperate Steam Library folder in Partition C:\ (same partition with default Steam Library) but the client blocked that action. In previous version, I can do that easily.

Second, I only have a single large partition and usually reset my PC (Soft wipe) every 2 - 3 weeks so I want my library to stay at drive root level so it wont be affect by Windows Recovery (Settings -> Update & security -> Recovery -> Reset this PC : Keep My Files setting)
