can't uninstall games off hard drive or ssd

[Hoezmad]

One of my SSD's are full and I need to clear it up. when I uninstall a game off of the control panel it doesn't remove the 8 GBs of the game im removing, and when I go into steamapps I can't find the game I deleted but there are games I haven't deleted, and its not in my recycling bin

Your HDD/SDD may be damaged.. I suggest running some programs to check that

its not
the other programs are fine

Then, it sounds like the game installed a lot of data outside of the steamapps folder.

Try searching for "[name of game] install location" online, and see if other people know where this game put its data..

If that fails, download and run the program "Windirstat", use it to scan your drive, and try and find the data based on the fact that it's 8 GB.

Get a program to clear up your PC, that should allow you to remove all the files of those games.

IOrbit uninstaller is a good one.

I just saw that some updates came to some of my games and fill the space because i uninstalled project cars to see if it worked still and it did
