Hi jp
Steam and the Ubisoft/Uplay game launcher will install in the Program Files (x86) directory.
Your Uplay login, email and password will be recognized as any type of installation has to use UpPlay.
This will be why Uplay still recognize your original Steam connection.
You could set up a new account.

You should have a separate Uplay icon that you can use to see the Uplay screen as in the picture below and make changes to settings if needed.



You will notice the default game installation path is shown even though my game is installed in D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
You should be able to download the game to another dirve or a different folder (not Steam) of your own making like C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5
Program Files (X86) directory is restrictive and it is better not to have your main game folder installed in it.

Another option is to install a new game launcher that allows you to install anywhere you want to put it.
