The Steam Deck is a formidable machine, capable of being not only a high-powered handheld but also a competent desktop and one of the best options overall when it comes to playing your PC games on the go. However, even the best Steam Deck games can have problems when it comes to downloading. While most games install smoothly on your Steam Deck, other downloads can stall and get stuck for hours. Even simple updates are meant to be kept up, but they never end, no matter how little storage space they take up. One of the quickest ways to fix games not downloading or updating is to clear your download cache. Here is our download cache clearing guide for Steam Deck.
How to clear Steam Deck download cache:
- Select the 'Steam' button
- Go to 'Power' option
- Select 'Switch to desktop mode'
- Open the Steam app
- Select 'Steam' from the toolbar
- Go to 'Settings'
- Go to 'Downloads'
- Select 'Clear Cache'
Although you can access Steam Deck settings in Big Picture Mode, the 'clear cache' option is only available when viewing Steam settings via desktop mode.
If you have one of the best Steam Deck docks, you can connect a gaming mouse or keyboard via USB while in desktop mode. You can also connect a mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth; This will make navigating desktop mode an easier process due to the size of menus and apps making them difficult to navigate on the Steam Deck's 1280 x 800 display.
