In order to fix this issue, make sure that the folders common, depotcache, downloading, shadercache, sourcemods, temp, workshop and other appmanifest files are inside the steamapps folder. This error is not a bug or something, this is because we’ve added incorrect hierarchy of folders for your existing steam library. However, if there are other games that you want to try out, but you don’t mind longer load times, you can put them on a secondary drive.If you tried adding existing Steam Library in your Steam Client, you might be experiencing this problem – popping up error message “ New Steam Library Folder must be empty”. If you have a core set of games that you spend most of your time playing, these are the best games to keep on your main drive. Many modern gaming PCs have two drives: a solid state drive that holds the operating system and the most commonly-played games, and a traditional hard drive with significantly more storage for non-essential files. Sometimes it can take a few minutes for all of the necessary files to load, but once the game is up and running you should be able to play with little to no latency at all. To do this, just follow the steps for creating a new folder, but rather than creating one, choose the existing folder and destination and click Select. 
You will need to install Steam on the new PC and set the default folder to the external drive. Once you’ve done this, you can use the drive on any PC. Download or copy your Steam games to the external drive. Open Steam > Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders.Ĭreate a new Steam library on the external drive. To get started, follow the same steps as above. If you’re going to keep your Steam library on an external hard drive, you will want a solid state drive for the faster load times.
Whatever the reason, you can host your entire library on an external drive and carry it with you. Maybe you have a rig in your college dorm and one at home, or maybe you play competitively but need your own Steam library for competition. There are some instances when someone might game on more than one computer. Games you play frequently should go on your primary drive, but games you don’t play often are good candidates for going to a secondary ( potentially external) drive so they don’t clutter your memory. When you install games in the future, you can choose which of the drives you wish to install to.
Bear in mind that if this folder is on an external drive, if you disconnect the drive you won’t be able to access the game. Depending on the size of the game, this can take several minutes. Once you have selected the folder, click Move Folder to start the process.
