creating room for gaming activities

Hi everyone, my boyfriend’s brother came over recently and installed several games on my computer through my Windows profile, not my Steam account. I’m trying to locate everything he added in the C drive so I can remove it and make space on my SSD. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Steam games are installed in the default folder located at C:, which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

It was a collection of games, though I'm not sure if other launchers were part of it

To find missing files easily, try using WinDirStat for a free scan of your SSD. It ranks folders by size from largest to smallest. You can also access the Control Panel and remove unused games directly.

Steam games are typically found in the "Installed Applications" section of the settings. (The exact window title isn't clear to me right now) You can filter by installation date and remove them without logging into Steam.

Using the control panel, you can arrange it by install date to easily identify what was added.
