Steam is a popular game distribution and management platform. Now if something goes wrong with a game or the app, you may need to access the Steam folder.

So, if your Windows installation is in the C drive, Windows will install the apps in the same drive as well. However, if you can’t find the Steam folder, here’s what you can do.

In this article, we explore a few ways to help you find the Steam folder in Windows 10 and Mac.
