Put all of that into a new folder, carry on with life (same thing happened to me like 6 months, this was on windows, I can't remember what I did thou...)

It looks like you installed steam to your desktop. So all the files just kind of took your desktop as a "folder".

How about you do this, copy all game folders to somewhere else, delete those folders, if steam fucks up, reinstall steam, you already have a copy of em on you computer, put them back into common, "install" the games again (steam would just see how come the games are already installed), job done.
