So! I have a 1TB drive that was starting to get a tad bit full and I've been avoiding doing this for ages but today I started doing it and I think I'm finished.

I have 136 Steam Games and all were "installed" and ready for play.

At this dying moment in time, POST clean up - I have 13 installed.

PRE Clean up, I had 80GB left on my drive, now I am happy to finally have 502GB!

When last have YOU done a clean up? :D

I honestly haven't played 96% of the games in forever...

I even did a Origin clean up and I have like, 18 games on there, now I only have 1 (Battlefield 3 Premium)

Just my random post for this weekend. :)
 
I know that feeling, I myself own 232 Steam games, I have 86 installed, most of them are indie so they're small but even so I hardly play any of them :/ I think I should go on a cleanup spree as well.

Geez you guys are hectic. At 12 Steam games and 3 via Origin, I thought I had problems. Now this is insane!! :D
 
I've never even been to there website before.
Didn't realise you could buy over 1860 differnt games from then, thought they just did half - life.

Will go take a look there tonight and see what they have.
Theres a few old ones I'd like to try again.
 
I don't have mine all of mine installed yet , because it always ends up not working after a while.

Like i did not play borderlands 2 for 2 months , but now i need to download 5 gig again , i am sure updates is less then that.

12+3 Is minor stuff. I am a proud pirate that buys a lot of legit games (edit: Only 239 Steam, 5 Origin) ... Steam makes it easy and worthwhile.

Wait for the winter/summer sale... ;)

I've got 100-something gigs of Steam games, but when I got an SSD I uninstalled everything that I don't play atm, so I think it's sitting on like 3 games for now.

Did a clean-up on another drive, still busy with it, but I've managed to clear out around 400GB of stuff now.
 
Ive only got 20 games or so... where do you find the time to play all those games! :eek:

I can't speak for the rest of the forumites, but I've bought several games on Steam, the only reason being the ridiculous price at the time (F.E.A.R 3 as an example was going for about $7 and that just couldn't be passed up!!) and still never got around to playing most of them.

In response to the OP though, I also cleaned out a mass of games. From CoD Black Ops to Titan Quest, they all had to go! I only have four games left on Steam now. Borderlands 2, Batman Arkham City, Torchlight 2 and Serious Sam 3. It was kinda therapeutic actually, like a massive spring clean :)
 
Looks like my steam decided to do a clean-up for me:
I currently gave 119 games on Steam, all installed, this morning I see Steam left me with only 33 games that are installed.
Steam decided to uninstall 86 games for me overnight, luckily I made backups of all my games in December.
