3. Click on "Steam Support".

Steam will review your request and will get back to you within 72 hours. If your request is approved, you will receive a refund to your original payment method.
Please note that Steam may deny your refund request if you do not meet all of the conditions listed above. If your request is denied, you can contact Steam Support for assistance.
ii. You can refund and (then) rebuy a game on Steam. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
* You can only refund a game if you have played it for less than two hours and if you have purchased it within the past 14 days.
* If you refund a game, you will not be able to rebuy it for a lower price for 14 days.
* If you refund a game multiple times, Steam may restrict your ability to refund games in the future.
If you are unsure whether or not you can refund a game, you can always contact Steam Support for assistance.
iii. Please note that, refunding a game on Steam does not delete saves. Your saves are stored locally on your computer, and they are not affected by refunds. However, if you uninstall a game, your saves will be deleted along with it. So, if you want to keep your saves, make sure to back them up before you refund a game.
The typical Steam save location is:
* **Windows:** C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\
* **Mac:** ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/
* **Linux:** ~/.steam/steam/
However, some games may save their data in a different location. For example, some games may save their data in the game's installation folder. If you are unsure where a game saves its data, you can usually find this information in the game's documentation or in the game's settings menu.
It is always a good idea to back up your saves, even if you don't plan on refunding a game. This way, you can be sure that you won't lose your progress if something happens to your computer.
Here are some tips for backing up your saves:
* Use a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox.
* Copy your saves to a USB drive or external hard drive.
* Save your saves in a separate folder on your computer.
