Like this, which, according to its id, should be Proton 4.11:
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1113280
I guess I can remove those? (I only got a single Proton version left.)
And it seems they're not deleted by Steam?
BTW, I found that I can set a compatibility layer to run Proton itself. Wonder what happens when I make Run Proton on Proton? ;)

I haven't yet figured out if it cares about any savegames that might be in those prefixes. Maybe it only deletes the ones with cloud saves enabled. Curious to hear if somebody knows.
Does this include what Proton has saved in its own folder, not the games' ones?
From what I tested during the last next fest, the entire number directory was deleted.
976M /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 3.16
1,8G /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 4.11
1003M /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0
878M /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.13
1,1G /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 6.3
2,1G /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 7.0
1,2G /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 8.0
48K /home/eike/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental
When I removed Proton, the folder vanished again. Good. But when I reinstalled it, played a game with it and then removed the game and Proton, there's still 885 MB sitting there.
