How do I completely remove Steam or .deb file?

I would like to know how to uninstall Steam. I looked everywhere but I cannot find any answers. I think it is worth mentioning that I installed it from a website and not the Software Store.

Answer: 1. Find the .deb file that you used to install the program. 2. Open it and it should open an install launcher. 3. There will be a red button that says remove. Click it and the program will be uninstalled.

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+T - open a terminal
2. Type sudo apt-get remove steam and hit ↵ Enter.
3. Type sudo apt-get purge steam and hit ↵ Enter.
4. Type rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam && rm -rf ~/.steam and hit ↵ Enter.
5. Exit the Terminal window.
