Follow the given instructions to do so:

  • If you desire your games should be in the D:/games directory > then create a subdirectory and name it “Steamappscommon”. The folder looks like D:>Games > steamapps>common
  • And as the subdirectory is generated > move entire games to the newly-created directory.
  • After moving games, it looks like:
    • D:>Games >steamapps >common >Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag
    • D: >Games >steamapps >common > Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead
  • Next, from the desktop,> start the Steam app
  • And click on Steam > Settings > click the Downloads tab
  • And under Content Libraries section > choose Steam Library Folder
Iceborne
  • Then click on Add Library Folder > move to the location where the games are moved in D:/games/your_subdirectory.
  • Now click on Select > Close for saving the library folder.
  • Lastly exit Steam > restart it.

And now Steam scans the newly selected Library folder > display entire games as installed.

#3: Manually Add Steam Library Folder

In the installation disk in the Steamapps folder steam stores the game data by default. But if you had a custom location to store game data then try adding the location in the Steam app to fix the Steam doesn’t recognize installed games.

Here follow the steps to do so:

  • First, launch and click on Steam > choose Settings

  • Next, in the pop-up window > click on Add Library Folder > choose the location where entire the Steam game data is saved.
