my hl2.exe crashed and was wondering if anyone knows the steps of how to uninstall steam and reinstall it?
Does it crash everytime you launch a source-engine game? You might want to look at the game cache. Go into Steam Library > Right Click CSS or TF2 depending on what game makes you crash > Properties > Local Files > Click Verify Integrity of Game Cache If this problem still occurs, then I have no idea what could it be other than a bug in a map/mod, which is quite possible too.
Go steam library find the game you want to delete, right click, properties, click on Local Files, delete local game content, re-install the game. Another way to delete..locate the game folder(I'm assuming your talking about tf2?) C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2 delete it.
