Unnstalling a Game / Achievements
Quick Question, does uninstalling a game wipe the achievements for that game? I would have thought so? I was lookign at my hard drive space and thought maybe I should unisntall a few games here and there, but if I uninstall i am sure it would erase the achievements for tthat game so next time you install achievements show 0.

No, you keep your achievements.

Unlocked achievements are linked to your Steam profile.
It does not matter if you uninstall a game or even remove it from your account.
Once unlocked achievements stay unlocked and are recorded on your Steam profile.

Oh! I thought it removed them? So If I unisntalled Cloudpunk for example, then reinstalled it 6 months later to play the achievements will still be there?

What about Play Time? Surely that would be wiped? No?

Playtime and achievements are tied to your profile and are not wiped.

Steam tracks your play stats. If the game makes use of the Steam Cloud storage, the save files would be backed up to the cloud. 6 months from now when you reinstall the game, it should be exactly how you left it.

If you go to your library and find an uninstalled game, you will see that your playtime and achievement data is still there. None of this is removed upon uninstalling or even removing the licence from your account.

Where do these assumptions come from?

Only the game files are affected by uninstalling games. A lot of times save games are stored somewhere else and those remain. Game configurations might be stored outside the game's main files too and could remain behind. Depending on your modding schemes mods might persist too. And that's stuff on your system.

Most of the things viewable on Steam like achievements and play time aren't being read by from your local PC. Changes to your local PC won't arbitrarily affect them. it's kinda like asking if you delete Chrome will all your gmails be erased? The answer is no, for the same reasons.

Use SAM ( when you can added them , i bet you can also remove them. ) for the game, how steam profile will fix it i do not know, ( should it not remove ir from profile then it also possible to added them as compleated.

Do note its on own risk, as fare as we know here steam donot care.

when you dont want the achievement or playtime value, you can remove it with steam own console commands, you dont need third party tools to do this.

but that doesnt change the average achievement% value + you can not delete the playtime and refund, thats doesnt work.
