I need to uninstall some games from PC but want to keep saves and progress, etc, need advice. /u/TopIntention8134 Steam on Reddit

I need to free up some drive space in my PC so I want to remove some of my steam games whilst retaining saves,etc.

What is the best way to do this and keep all my saves and progress, etc?

I noticed there is an uninstall option if I right click on games in my steam library, does this uninstall the game from Steam itself or does it uninstall the game from my PC. If it uninstalls the game from the PC will all my progress and save be saved on my Steam library/cloud?

If the uninstall button on my Steam library right click menu doesn’t save all my stuff on Steam how should I go about removing the game from my PC whilst keeping all my saves and progress, do I need to save any save folders, and if so how?

Sorry it’s a bit of a newb question I’ve been console basses upuntil about a year’s an a half back and I’ve only just got to the point where I’m hitting 20%remainimg on my PCs drive.
