I just reset my PC recently, and after re-adding all my programs, I noticed this "other" Steam folder in start under "All" programs, and it looks empty. Clicking on it doesn't install Discord or anything. I have no idea how to get rid of this. I uninstalled steam and discord, and it's still there. How can I get rid of this? When I right click, the only option is to pin it. I've searched online and in my PC and I have no idea where to locate this folder so I can delete it.

Open File Explorer.

Paste this into the address bar and press Enter.

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Are you able to find that Steam folder in the resulting folder, and delete it from there?
