Valve Finally Adds Option To Permanently Delete Games From Steam Library

[Transsive]

Finally!
Thank you Valve.

Now I can remove stuff I'm never planning to play.

Thank god.

There's only been one game I wish I never bought. Goodbye BRINK.

Unfortunately, hoping to use the feature to remove titles such as Left 4 Dead 2 Beta is useless, as it bundles that title with the full game. Dumping the beta will cause you to permanently lose both the beta and full title. The same goes for other titles with useless beta entries in the games list. Does anybody at Valve actually use a feature like this before roll out? Sure, the feature may work correctly, but the implementation makes it's scope almost uselessly narrow.

There's already an option to hide games. What I'd like to see is a way to transfer games to another account. Now that my kid is old enough to play games, I'd like to start building his library with games from my account that are more suited to him.

What I have done is create Steam Account for my kid and Family Share individual games. If it's on the same computer, you don't even need to reinstall.

For someone like, the only thing I would use this feature for is to make my list a little shorter. But looking at comments they have a hide function

I would have prefered a sorting system like my wishlist, like my "currently playing" games in top area. I'd also like a "Completion" on the profile, cause hell no I'm getting all achievements on every game, and with so many indie games from humble, and supporting non-finished games, its hard to tell if I finished by looking at "hours played". I want a generalized "completion" percentage.

But I've never tried to take a key, use it without Steam, I guess permanently delete allows you to sell your keys. I would sell my extra games from Humble that I don't actually want. But I'm a collector, right now, our Steam account has 299 in library (see why sorting would be preferable).

We've setup a Steam stream to the entertainment room, so kids with no one around when a little old. I wonder if they have a pin for Mature games.

This really pleases me, since i've got some games I even wonder why I got them in the first place. dam steam sales.

I am personally glad I have always maintained a very orderly library with a bunch of favourites folders each with a specific category in mind.

The only time my library was cluttered was the first time I opened it.

Each time I purchase games on Steam I ensure to organise them immediately if I am planning to play them anytime soon. Otherwise I don't much care
