How to uninstall Steam on macOS

Today we find the possibility of using our computer for many things. In addition to being an essential work item for many, the truth is that it is also a means of entertainment in which we can find different options for use. One of them is the possibility of playing different games that we can download to the computer..

 

 

Steam has become the ideal solution to download, play and manage thousands of games. This platform allows through subscriptions to have availability of these on platforms such as Windows, Linux or macOS.

 

Despite all its functionalities, it is possible that for some reason we want to uninstall Steam from macOS either because we have physical games or because we are looking to use other online game options..

 

TechnoWikis will explain how to uninstall Steam from macOS completely.

 

Note
To keep in mind, when uninstalling Steam we must have it, the Steam application, if we want to play the games we have bought or the physical games registered there.

Step 5

As we can see, there are different Steam folders. In case we do not want to lose the game data, we must delete all the Steam files and folders except the / SteamApps folder since it contains the downloaded files and each of the games or sessions saved locally. If we want to delete everything then we simply delete the Steam folder in its entirety.
