None. I don't see the point.

Yeah there are some Steam games I've got that suck really badly but I've never cared enough to want to permanently delete them from account. Is it really that hard to just not install them and scroll past them?

Exactly my thoughts.

Don't do it.... That is a masterpiece of a story and although it is short and weird, I really like it.

I have set an old/junk category which stuff I don't want goes into.

Personally I don't see the point in deleting them permanently.

IIRC, you can fully uninstall them from your PC and hide them from the app.
Beyond that, anyone with half a braincell that sees them in your Profile Library will know you only have it as part of a massive bundle deal, or something!!

Useful if you accidentally bought a region locked game and don't want to mess about with VPNs. :rolleyes:

Awesome. Useful for the sake of profile clean up. Even if some of you don't get why we would do this.

Think how many games you might have in 30 years time, the majority of people will start doing it at some point.

Or just uninstall them when finished. That's what I do.

Jae-So · 4 Dec 2015 at 18:58

Or just delete the ones bundled that you never wanted

Klunt Bumskrint · 4 Dec 2015 at 18:58

But they stay there in the list, it's annoying. If you hide them then it's just another list that's annoying

Really don't see why I'd ever delete a game. I can hide them, I can stick them in a category where I'd never see them, so even on the tiny, tiny chance I want to play those games one day I'd never delete them.

Im still waiting to be able to set groups you can toggle on and off in the steam friends list so i can organise it.....

What's? It's one of steams and pc platform greatest fps game.

Why would anyone want to delete a game from steam? I don't understand, easy to just ignore it.

Yes finally I can get rid of Sakura Swim Club that was bought in, um, error...

It's a massive **** if you ask me, i'll be deleting it. It's very presence is a reminder of the good money I wasted on it.

Shame it can't be gifted to someone else.

Ahhh ... feels good :cool:
