Cannot delete Steam, path leads to wrong disk

So I am trying to delete Steam. When I do so I get the error:

Windows cannot find 'C:\program Files (x86)\Steam\uninstall.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

The problem is that Steam is not located on the C: drive but the D: drive. I've had similar problems since the last Windows update, but I have solved the problems multiple times by changing the directory in the environment tables.

I've been looking for the Steam directory but can't seem to find it in the menu of the Environment tables.

Solution 1:

Can you make a symbolic link from missing Steam directory to the actual one at D:.

mklink /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam" "D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"

The method avoids downloading other utilities and uses the included functionality of the operating system

More about mklink.exe can be found at: https://ss64.com/nt/mklink.html

Solution 2:

I can suggest you this utility "Revo Uninstaller". link: https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

1. If you have Steam installed and want it completely removed with everything related (registry, files, links) then run the RevoUninstaller.

There will be a list of installed programs from that list you can select and delete "Steam".

Other solution is that you can click on "Hunter" mode in Revo Uninstaller and drag&drop exe file of program you need to uninstall.

2.You will be asked what type of deletion to choose:
3.Select "Advanced" and click ok/continue.
4.After Revo Uninstaller performs cleanup of uninstaller(if available) it will search for all files and registry entries.
5.Select all files/registry entries for deletion, if they can not be immediately deleted, you will be prompted to choose if you would like that on next reboot (just click ok).

This will completely wipe all data of related to this program.

Hope this helps you.
