Steam may say your game is uninstalled due to a missing or corrupted game folder. To resolve this, first verify the game files by right-clicking the game in your library, selecting 'Properties,' navigating to 'Local Files,' and clicking 'Verify Integrity of Game Files.' If that doesn't work, check if the game is installed in a different directory by exploring Steam's settings under 'Downloads' and 'Steam Library Folders.'
