Why is there a .steampath in my home directory?
In the terminal, I see a broken link which is named .steampath, I didn't remove /home/user/.steam/sdk32/steam, but it is gone.
Why is the .steampath there?
Should I remove it?

Seems to be quite common and maybe a bug that has not been important enough to get fixed. You could safely remove it, but that doesn't help as it seems to be generated every time steam is started. You can simply ignore it.
