Steam games can now be permanently deleted from your library

Here we go, the latest and greatest from Shacknews...

Steam users who really don’t want a game to be associated with their account can now proceed to delete it for good.

Reddit user Jay_Nullbuilt stumbled onto the option, which will now allow a Steam user to remove joke gifts, regretful purchases, and clear up their backlog clutter for good. It should be noted that removing a game from your Steam library does not give you a refund on your purchase, so if you want to get rid of a game you actually purchased, you may want to reconsider as we hear money does not, in fact, grow on trees.

Jay_Nullbuilt also learned games that were purchased as part of a bundle can’t be removed without deleting the entire bundle. “E.g. I want to remove Zombie Driver but it is part of 'Summer Sale Indie Bundle Day Seven' and will lose [my] other games too,” he says.

While we can certainly see the value of deleting joke gifts from Steam friends, we can’t imagine wanting to delete a game you actually purchased just to clear your library. We have libraries that have thousands of games, which can make it difficult to find something, but if you have a good category system, then you shouldn’t feel as overwhelmed with your Steam Library. Although if you really want to get rid of a game, head on over to Steam's Help site to get rid of your games.
