Wow, only by using these simple steps, I cleaned 5GB of data from my Steam folder. You too can learn how to do this by clicking this link and use our program: SteamFolderCleaner3000

I use Steam Cleaner to get rid of excess crap left behind by instals, and I occasionally check my Steam games folder manually in order to make sure there's no junk left. That usually removes at least a gig or so of stuff. The latter method is especially helpful when I can't uninstall a F2P or a game I got during a free weekend the usual way.

I usually don't pay much attention to my steam folder
Since I mostly assume it takes care uninstallation by itself.
I was wrong
Today I checked my steam folder and found out alot of excess leftover files from games.
What to look out for:
Games that used to be have free weekends and "poofed" at some point out of your inventory.
MMOs that auto update outside of steam such as Rift and Eve Online.
Certain games just leave more crap behind than others, sometimes 100+ MBs of garbage.
In total I found out I had 27 GB of leftovers plus about 0.5GB of uninstalled games config files, installation logs and such. Screenshot
Used Steam Cleaner and freed additional 2 GB (Thanks for the info guys)
How much space did you free up now by manually deleting the crap steam left behind?
tl;dr - Manually delete games from your steam directory and use steam cleaner because steam leaves garbage files behind.
