I'm getting ready to uninstall/reinstall Skyrim but rather than rush into this I'd like to ask your experience to make it go smoothly. What is the step-by-step process you take before hitting the uninstall button? I noticed on Steam there is something to "back up files"--should I do that? There's also some about "delete local game content" should I do that? Anything you can think of that might be helpful, I would appreciate you sharing it. Thanks.

Thank YOU! The link is very helpful--thanks for your fast response, much appreciated!
