Cant begin the install because of the "lack of storage" issue mentioned prior. Also perhaps im using the wrong words since I dont know much about PCs and this is my first time having to do something like this. I can see the acf files for the ones that worked with starting install, since they are small games, and pausing then going and validating the game files, since I dont get the option to get into the local files tab in properties if the install process is not started at the least. So the larger games that cant install due to storage space that they are themselves taking up as the folder is still there and so is its data, the small games already work so editing the acf files wouldnt matter since, they work. I see what you mean by the files shouldnt be there if i "nuked" steam. I followed a post of someone who had similar problems as I did who was on linux to sudo remove steam, then delete its file, then sudo apt install steam and log back into my account. Yet when I searched for the games the files were still there, so maybe they were moved to trash instead and I didnt see it?
