Steam not uninstalling properly on Ubuntu 32-bit

I installed steam but it wouldn't launch and found I should not have downloaded it from the Steam site, so decided to uninstall and try again. I uninstalled but find it still in the applications files if I search for steam.
I ran
sudo apt-get remove steam
and it says
package steam is not installed so not removed.
Same with
sudo apt-get purge steam
I also ran
re -rf `/.local/share/Steam && rm -rf ~/.steam
and it tells me
re is currently not installed. you can install it by typing sudo apt install re
So why is steam showing up in the applications if it is not there. How do I ensure I've completely gotten rid of it so I can do a clean install?
uninstall steam

I assume that 're' is a typo for 'rm'?
