Just bought the game. Trying to add Real name fixes. First thing i do. Funny thing: I have no Football Manager 2022 folder in the (x86) string. Just Football Manager 2021 folder with the old db folders and its content: Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Football Manager 2021\…
No, it's not in Program files or anywhere else, this is where all previous versions of the game has been stored. Yes I've re-installed the game. Yes, I've started a game. 
Any one else experienced something like this? Any suggestion on basically what to do, very much appreciated.

Lord… You live and learn, don't you… A GREAT BIG THANK YOU @kingrobbo 

Got a bit confused as the istructions are specific on finding the files in the (x86) string (or Program files). It's allways been there in previous verions. Anyway, happy now. Thank's again kingrobbo! :-)

if happy leave the file where it is

 

if not go into steam account-settings-downloads

 

and you may need to clear download cache as that should resolve any further downloads not going to the right location, but IMO you would need to uninstall FM22 and reinstall again

Followed your advise on this, reinstalled and cleared the download cache as above. But still no other games than the old FM 21 on 86…?
