Dude wen u start downloading point the download point it to ur initial download location of games... As in the place where u installed the games earlier. It will try to download then a dialogue box will say recognising previously downloaded files nd it will jst reconstruct the reg files fr u nd every thing will work. I hd the same problem wen I formatted this helped.

being stupid as I am ...i deleted my whole previous library ...I just copied the common folder before deleting my previous library so that is outta question now ...if i had copied my app manifest for the games then I could have easily resolved this but as of now I am screwed

verifying was first thing on my mind all my games don't show up to be downloaded i.e like my game library is just empty so verifying is not an option now

What kukeemon is saying too do is start the download again for your game of choice so Steam does recognise it and then verify. You can either try installing over the existing files or wait till it's started downloading, copy the files you have into the foler and then verify.

So I accidentaly deleted my all my app manifest files for all my games and now I have all my games files but steam won't recognize them being installed and starts to download them ...I don't have decent internet connection so downloading 100GB worth of data is outta the question (for now anyway) any help regarding this would be appreciated ...a gamer in distress here
