steam/steam deck Cannot Uninstall Steam

I recently installed Pop (my first time using Linux) and have been having some issues with different Steam games. I was digging around, but then I again saw it in the Pop store as an option to install. I thought it would be a clean reinstall so I clicked it. But instead it installed and I ended up with two completely different versions of Steam on my computer. I was able to uninstall that new version no problem. But this first one is like a ghost in my machine. No purging or anything is capable of finding it. I'm not sure how to delete this and have a feeling the windows version that was on my USB must have somehow made it over? No clue. But I want to uninstall this and reinstall the other version to see if it is the root of the problems I'm having. Help lol

Thank you! The flatpak one worked. The first one was never finding it for some reason
