He has reorganized the files and is careful to avoid errors, preventing the need to re-download the entire game.
It seems that Steam's file integrity check is meant for that purpose. I've tried it before, and based on my observations, it doesn't work when everything is correct or only missing certain downloads. Hopefully, the screenshot confirms its functionality for them.
