Can't uninstall games i downloaded from steam Ubuntu 20.04

I'm relatively new to linux and more specifically Ubuntu and I'm having this weird issue where I am unable to uninstall games in steam. I'll right-click to uninstall but when i do it just gives me the progress bar over and over and never actually uninstalls the game. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with cinnamon.I've tried fully closing and re-launching steam thought every time i did that it still gave me the same thing. Any help is greatly appreciated! uninstall issue

Make sure you're not running any of the games and then try this:

steamcmd +apps_installed +quit

This will list all the applications installed using steam. find your application id and try this command:

steamcmd +app_uninstall appid-complete +quit

Replace appid with the one you need from the list you've got from running the previous command.

Let us know if you're successfull.
