Its no different than how you uninstall/install games from a PC.
As for SPACE, you'd have to upgrade the storage just like you would for a PC.

Uninstalled games dont go anywhere, they are simply removed from the system just like a PC and reinstalled the same way.

Theres no such thing as Unlimited space.

Go to desktop mode and open the discover app. It's the icon on the taskbar that looks like a shopping bag.

Search for Disk Usage Analyzer and install that.

Open it up and you can see how much storage each file is using. You can delete files to open up more storage.

As far as unlimited GB, there is no such thing. You can install a larger nvme drive or a bigger microSD card.

You can upgrade the internal SSD to around 1TB or 2TB IIRC. You can also get a hub (generic Steam Dock) and add storage that way. The SD card is OK for having some personal music and things of that sort but I wouldn't use the SD card method for Games

You can freely install / uninstall games as you need them. When you install them again it'll just download them again. Valve doesn't limit how many games you can have in your library, and they won't "expire" if you don't install them. So no worries.

Actually, for the bulk of games, they run just fine off an SD Card if you get a high performance SDCard.

Source: Most of my games run from an SD card on the deck, if you have a high performance SD Card, the GPU/CPU will bottleneck you long before data speed does.
