You can see the value of any variable just by typing:
echo $STEAMROOT
It'll probably be something like /home/user/.steam
But, if you've installed your games in multiple locations, then it would
come back empty (because it would be an array or a list of directories),
and thus expand to nothing leaving:
rm -rf /*
Which means wipe your whole OS.
