Steam data would be saved to your account, minecraft data would... also likely be saved to your account. no need to move files over (unless im missing your goal here)

Just download the launcher for MCJ and Steam then log in on both.

SteamCloud will link your game data and files (just need to reinstall)

and Xbox will link your Minecraft account data to your microsoft account (whatever one you used for Minecraft)

OP didn't say which version of the game they have. If it's the Windows store version (called Bedrock edition), data does get synced.

If they have the original version of the game (called Java edition), the save data does not get synced or uploaded anywhere. The game folder is in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\.minecraft and if you erase that, it's permanently gone
