When I install Steam it tells me that it couldn't set up Steam data. I looked that up and the solutions that I found include deleting the .steam
folder so that it makes one from fresh. But I don't have a .steam
folder, no matter how I install Steam (.deb
file installation or using the terminal).
When I use the terminal to launch it, it tells me this:
Repairing installation, linking /home/nik/.steam/steam to /home/nik/.local/share/Steam
rm: cannot remove '/home/nik/.steam/steam': Is a directory
Setting up Steam content in /home/nik/.local/share/Steam
rm: cannot remove '/home/nik/.steam/steam': Is a directory
.steam
directory? The period at the front means that the directory is hidden, so you can see it by runningls -a

. Did you try this? – edwinksl Aug 15 '16 at 16:42
