Yesterday i went to play some games on steam and noticed many of them were showing that they werent installed. upon further investigation i realised the 1tb of games installed on my HDD have genuinley disappeared and i cant find them.

i have checked the steamapps folder and the only games are the ones i installed after this happened. the weird thing is the space is still being taken up on my HDD. they are in there somewhere but i cant find them.

i tried scanning the hard drive for errors through Cmd prompt but it said no issues. everywhere i look it just tells me there is 950gb unaccounted for.

the only thing i have done to my pc in the last week was change my wifi card but didnt touch anything else in there was a smooth fast switch over.

somebody please help me i dont want to reset my pc to get that storage back as i know windows is absolute ass at manging storage and helping me figure out wtf is where

always exit the drive using the mass storage then quit - exit steam safely.
Is the drive connected again to your PC?
logged into the same account?

How old is the drive.
My entire games 259 are all on my WD USB drive for many many years I always correctly exit .
Replace drive every 5 years.

The life of hard drives are 5 years technically. I believe you just reached the end of life of your hard drive. Most likely your hard drive maybe failing. Is it making loud noises too? Post on here after listening to it and see how loud it is.

Suggestion: Replace the hard drive with a solid state drive. They last for 100 years basically before failing. They have come down in price quite a bit since they were first released.

no noises pc is sounding beautiful, i already have a 1tb ssd but yeah it does seem they have gotten way cheaper i didnt think a 2tb one would be 170.

i found all the files became corrupted and turned into chk files. from what i can tell shutting down steam or my pc in a dumbass way coulda caused this as i have done it a few times recently

managed to find out how to see the files in my drive and copied them overnight to steam game directory and am now seeing if they can be recognised

Yea, if unproperly shut down pc, it can cause massive corruption. I suggest also running the scandisk /sfc in console as administrator to fix any other corruption issues on your pc. It could lead to further problems in the future if not done. Here is information on how to do it:
