    Hello

    I had a HDD failure back in May on the drive where my Steam Games are installed and had to do a 1st reinstall of the Game then again the next month, in June.

    and few weeks ago, that's my FUZEDRIVE that got screwed up after a Windows update so again I had to reinstall my Steam Games.

    Now I did proper clean reinstall but I see in teh Windows Document folder, 3 different Install version still there.

    Is that safe to delete the May and June created Install folders?

    thnaks a lot

    Just rename them first and see if everything works ok. If not, it is easy to revert back and if it does, you can remove them more safely.

    I don't remember clearly, but I suspect if you only delete the first two folders, the game will create the first one again and will use it as its main folder. So you need to delete the first two folders and also rename your third one removing the " Install 3" part.
