Steam-games got uninstalled automatically

Closed
Alshadur

Hey guys,
since a few days or even weeks some of my steam-games are randomly uninstalled from my PC without a notice.
You know why? And do you know how I can stop that? I don't want my games to be uninstalled because I have to download them again and sometimes savegames are deleted, too.
That sucks :(

Also, perhaps not legit games bought with stolen info from another user?

Perhaps some sort of virus cleaning your computer?

Perhaps your computer is about to "quit life" and is trying to give you a heads up for the upcoming event(s).

EDIT: Not-legit keys activated on your account?

No to all three.. although I'm not sure about #3.

I don't think it's a problem with my PC, I think it's an issue with steam.

Is there a limit to games you can have installed via steam?
I'm installing new games every day and my steamapps folder has about 300 GB.
So maybe when I'm installing a new game, steam uninstalls another one?

Haha no :D
But it reminds me of something... I have steam installed on another PC, too, there are only a few games installed though and nothing gets deleted there. But could this cause the problems on my PC because of synchronization? But there is no connection about the games being uninstalled and the games installed on the second PC.

Perhaps the partition where your Steam games are installed is full?

Sometimes the installation finishes instantly (so I think the files were still on my computer). (why does this happen in the first place, that the games are "grey" in my steam library?)

But sometimes I have to download them again as I said, and even savegames are deleted. Thats the frustrating part.

it happened to me once my dota 2 was removed for some reason. but i installed it took 1 minute because thanks to steam cloud it found my games already installed on the computer.
