Hello @digitalwtf, please do not intentionally open duplicate issue reports. Closing as a duplicate of #1890.
@kisak-valve this issue is approaching 10 years of age, there is nothing done about it at all.
so steam devs are aware of this being an issue it seems
@wael444 don't be confused like I was, @kisak-valve is not a Steam dev and them knowing about the issue doesn't mean Valve knows about it. But seeing the age of the original issue, they probably do know about it and just don't care about it.
Nothing extracted yet.

We dont need more junk in our $HOME.
We should have the option of disabling the ~/.steam folder as some of us can run games without it.
Please.
