How can I uninstall steam from my ubuntu? I've tried the terminal step of sudo apt-get remove steam, but it tells me that it doesn't exist, and it does exist, I can see it, please help

    You need to uninstall in the reverse procedure to how you installed it. sudo apt-get remove steam would work if you used sudo apt-get install steam (or dpkg -i & like apt tools). If you dpkg -l |grep steam do you get a list of installed packages with steam in their name? (which can be removed by apt tools). If you installed in another way, you need to remove it likewise using the reverse of install-method. – guiverc Mar 04 '19 at 01:30

On my system the package is steam-launcher (I installed it from the Steam repos).

See if that's what you have by issuing apt policy steam-launcher in a terminal. If so, that's what you should uninstall.
