But at least taking these steps now will save you having that awful moment when you've updated to Catalina, the Steam client won't load at all, and it appears as if you've lost all your Steam games. Barring a virtual machine or something else drastic, those games won't work under Catalina. There is, seriously, nothing you can do about games developers who haven't moved to 64-bit binaries. Then log back in to your Steam account, and you're done. Now go to where you'll see an Install Steam button at the top right of the site. In every one, look for Steam or Valve files.ĭo be careful to solely select Steam or Valve folders, but then drag them to the Trash and empty it. Next, repeat that Go to Folder with each of the following. That directory is where your games live, and keeping that folder preserves the installs. In the folder that opens, scroll to find the Steam folder, and delete everything in there except /steamapps. You're going to get very familiar with it. Hold down Command and Shift, then press the letter G to call up this Go To Folder dialog. We want rid of a lot of Steam, but not the bit that includes your games.

As good as that is, as so much handier it is than going through the whole process of deleting them manually, don't let Hazel do it. If you have Hazel installed on your Mac, it will spot that you've removed an application and will offer to also delete all of that app's supporting files. When you're sure you have the account details, start with this: You'll have to be able to log in again, and you'll have to have access to email to get the verification codes that you'll be sent. You clicked that Remember Me button years ago, but this is going to appear to Steam as if you're setting up a new computer. One quick tip: do be certain to have your Steam account name and password to hand. It's just the Steam client you have to fix. The Steam service is fine and so are at least most of your games.
