+1 on backing up Steam files rather than deleting, with the caveat that the size of your Steam library (and your available b/w) will have some bearing on the decision. My current library is 617GB, which took about 3 hours to backup from spinning disk to spinning disk via gigabit ethernet last time I needed to do it; the same download would have been 2-3 days at my connection speeds.
Here is a link to a link (to a link) of a thread here from when I did a large HDD to smaller SSD migration a few years back... This method used Windows Backup and built-in disk tools, with no need for 3rd party software: Clicky
