     Beware, the following arguments are already used:

     .PARAMETER Force
     The Force parameter allows the user to skip the "Should Continue" box.
 
     .EXAMPLE
-    Update-SteamApp -ApplicationName 'Arma 3' -Credential 'Toby' -Path 'C:\Servers\Arma3'
+    Update-SteamApp -ApplicationName 'Arma 3' -Credential 'Toby' -Path 'C:\DedicatedServers\Arma3'
 
     Because there are multiple hits when searching for Arma 3, the user will be promoted to select the right application.
 
     .EXAMPLE
-    Update-SteamApp -AppID 376030 -Path 'C:\Servers'
+    Update-SteamApp -AppID 376030 -Path 'C:\DedicatedServers\ARK-SurvivalEvolved'
 
     Here we use anonymous login because the particular application (ARK: Survival Evolved Dedicated Server) doesn't require login.
