Where are Game Setups Located
My hard drive is full, I need to delete some games for now to free space. But I don't wanna download the game all over again next time I want to play it.

Where is the setup of the game located (downloaded via Steam) ? So I could move it to my external drive and just install it next time I want to play without the need to download it.

Depends. Try installing a free game. But when that little window pops up, see where it's saving to

Ok i have done it so jus do this-
In your steamapps folder - a folder with name common is present every game u finish downloading full will be present there so just copy your game folder and keep it in ur external drive and then when u newly install steam just copy the game to same place and in your steam library select the game and click on install it'll check and use the already exisited files.
I did it with my games,,,

Right click on the Game in your Library->"Properteries"->Local Files->Browse Local Files

Then you've got the folder for the game, or you can locate your "Steaam" Folder, then go under "Steaam/Steamapps/common/" there are all the gaame files

There's no "Set-up" for games bought directly from steam as there is when you bought a disk version from a local store. The games launchers can act as installers only if you're connected to the Net and logged in to Steam so they can DL from Steam.
