Terminal command for deleting Steam flatpack?

blackeys1098

I'm trying to get steam to recognize my HDD - I have a separate drive to store steam game downloads - but it sounds like I have to delete the steam flatpack to do so; unless there's a better solution someone is aware of.

Does anyone know the terminal commands for that?

flatpak search steam Name Description Application ID Version Steam Launcher for the Steam software distribution service **com.valvesoftware.Steam**

flatpak uninstall com.valvesoftware.Steam

can't answer towards your "unless you know a better solution" question, though. maybe someone does.

edit but I won't be around long enough for answer: what was wrong with our repo version that you had to use flatpak?

I really have no idea. The forum posts from the last couple years describing the same issue all seem to have been remedied by deleting the steam flatpack.

Solus recognizes the drive so I don't know why steam doesn't. I keep feeling like I'm missing something obvious but I just can't located the drive from Steam

Plug in your HDD and mount. Open steam. Next Steam->Settings->Downloads->Steam Library Folders. Press + and point to your disk.

Yep, it was obvious. Thank you pomon!
