• Cleaning my Hardrive of Steam Games-
    9 replies, posted
So, i went out with my dad and got 1TB internal Hard drive for 100$. And for some reason, i lost 20 gigs outta no where a couple of days ago on my C: drive (not the 1TB Hard drive), and no, its not porn...probably :] so now its in the red zone (which means its interferring with windows "thinking" memory (as my dad told me). So, to clear space for it, i want to remove all my games from my C hard drive and move them to my new F: Hard drive (1TB). I know uninstalling steam wont delete my account, but will uninstalling the games delete my online saved games? I have: -Bad Company 2 (lvl 4, and its HARD to lvl up) -COD4-MW2 (lvl 64) -Mass Effect 2 (beat it 2 times, but i started a new game with ME1 character, and i wanna play through with him) -Garrysmod (will it delete RP status, etc) -TF2 (achievments) thats all the games i care about for saved content. Some of my friends said it would delete everything. Im pretty sure it wont delete my online lvl's. but i wanna make sure, and not lose my stuff. Or is their an easier way to transfer all my games to my new drive? Thanks. Could i just Cut + Paste into my new Drive? It seems like it should work...

Bad Company 2 multiplayer content is saved on the server. I don't know about the single player though.
Just back up your ME2 save and your good to go.
Move all steam files to the F:\ drive, go to key registry and change the directory of steam, that's how I think you can move it without getting problems. Not sure if this works though.
i just tried this with Mass Effect 1, i had to reinstall, but it saved all my save spots. I think ME2 will do the same, but im not sure about the online status' of BC2, COD4, etc.
