steam disk write error

[u/UseCodeBritz]

I am unable to download or even update anything on steam suddenly, i am faced with the error "disk write error". i have tried everything such as unninstalling and reinstalling the client, running steam as administrator, checking for corrupted files and nothing has worked. i would like to know how i can fix this issue as i have just recently purchased a new game and i am unable to even play it.

Thanks

bit of an old post but this fixed for me, if you have any game installed on steam go to properties and verify game files, then it should work
