Hi I am new to the Apple family so sorry if I post some dumb questions. I installed steam to install some basic games and downloaded a game called 'Goat Simulator'. However, my macbook pro was really loud when running that game and I decided to uninstall the game.
Click Uninstall. Steam will ask if you’re certain you want to delete it, confirming that it will uninstall the local game files from your Mac. Click Delete and wait a few minutes for the game to be removed. Larger Steam games will take a little longer to uninstall. For most programs, user files are very small and not worth worrying about, but for Steam, they include all your downloaded games, and can be quite large. To delete your user files: Open Nautilus, the default file explorer.
I found out how to uninstall the game manually through steam. However, the game 'Goat Simulator' is still listed on my launchpad even though I uninstalled the game through Steam. How do I uninstall this image or the uninstalled game from the LaunchPad. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks Michael. Apple Footer.

Originally posted by:delete the games folders in steamapps. An uninstall over steam does exactly the same. And no it's not the same. A proper uninstall will take care of the breadcrumbs left elsewhere on the computer.
Deleting the folders from the Steamapps folder will not. Your game files should be there and save-game files do appear in other places (in My Documents Games) if the game doesn't support Steam Cloud.
This manual process is simple and intuitive. The advice was to remove the games' folders; not the Steamapps folder itself.

Deleting the Steamapps folder or the folders inside is pretty much the same thing with regard to how it precisely does not do that. I want to be clear. This is a laptop I inherited from my dad who recently passed away. I want to restore it to how it was before he passed, before my nephew installed a bunch of games on it.
Then I want to image it to keep a copy of that state. Originally posted by:The advice was to remove the games' folders; not the Steamapps folder itself. Yeah but the intent was pretty clear that I don't want to just delete the game data, but wipe every trace of these games.
