Deleted screenshots from a game folder, now all games on that drive are uninstalled - but their game file sizes are still taking up space on the SSD. Confused.
SOLVED!!!! SORRY! Keeping this up just in case it can help someone in the future.
Solution: deleting screenshots from the game "Where Winds Meet" screenshot folder moved my "steamapps" into a new folder named "steamchina", and created an empty copy of "steamapps" in its place. This told my Steam's path directory that I had nothing installed as it was just an empty copy. Moving them out of "steamchina" and deleting the empty copy + "steamchina" fixed it.

Very confused right now.
Deleted some screenshots from the Where Winds Meet folder, and then all my games on the same drive disappeared from my folder, as well as saying they're uninstalled on Steam. However, they're still taking up space on my SSD.
Can anyone help please? Not tech savvy enough to solve this myself 😅
