[Junk Detection] steamapps/downloading cleanup

Open Alluseri opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

In every game library of Steam, there's a "downloading" folder: (It seems that no libraries other than the Steam's "native" library have the folder used, as seen above. The game was installed into the .Steam Games library.)

It would be great for BCUninstaller to detect leftovers of Steam games in those folders(detectable by the game ID on path ./steamapps/(game ID))

BCUninstaller currently detects those leftovers as part of the whole Steam package:

In the best case scenario, BCUninstaller should be able to subtract and possibly separate those leftovers from the Steam package, as those are not actually Steam's leftovers and are not part of Steam as an application, obviously.

The wanted basic functionality is for BCUninstaller to delete those downloading leftovers along with the games when they are removed through BCUninstaller(Steam did not remove them automatically after removal through the game library using SteamHelper.exe)
