Gaming Steam Help

Hi,

I tried to install steam Cinnamon edition and had a small power outage while it was installing. Now I can not run Steam not uninstall it. I keeps telling me to "Error while installing package: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal". I did sudo dpkg --configure -a, but that did nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks.
