Do you let those types of games on your library or do you delete them? (you can talk more about it on the comments)
Yeah, but I think that they can always be put again into your library - I had deleted some games and through help.steampowered.com I managed to get them back in my library even after a year or more xD
They just keep track on when and how you bought/activated them if you're talking about paid/activated games of course and not free to play ones so..

Been there, done that. Nothing of value was lost.
Also it doesn't remove the license, so in case you have the sudden urge to play some Zonitron level shit that you removed previously - you can restore it as well.

That's good to know, didn't know I could restore it later (even if I don't think I will)
Comment has been collapsed.
Just fyi there is no list on Steam of games you've had removed. So, just in case you do want to restore any later, make sure to write down in a text file or something the names of the games you've had removed.

You seem quite sure on what to do, so if you want to start and delete all those for-you-useless games just keep on detecting them, go to the Steam help page ( help.steampowered.com ) and start removing them all from your library! =P
I'm not a game collector, I want to have just games with cards and achievements (and that can be reviewed!! XD) so that's why I have like less than 2000 ones although I buy tons of bundles XD
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I have a lot of bundle games that I bought that (even if it's bad for a lot of people) I still really enjoy haha
But those "brilliant bob" type of games kinda annoys me so I guess I'll just take them off xD

I use Depressurizer to get Steam score/categories to more easily sort. It doesn't necessarily clear your 'trash', but it helps move on to better things more quickly.
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't know it had a program for that, I'll take a look :O
I mostly just "hide" the trash games that I got from my library. so I'm mostly thinking about the people that I share the library with, it must be really boring to pass 100 trash games when you're looking for some good ones T_T
Comment has been collapsed.
All the same, you can more easily hide (or simply bucket ) the games you don't want to see en masse. Much, much easier than 1 by 1 in Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Think I might give that a try later on. been trying to sort my library and I get overwhelmed xD

I tried Depressurizer before but it would display only a small fraction of my game list. Tried the one you linked, same thing. I looked around but couldn't find a way to fix it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure if I am knowledgeable enough to help you, but that used to be more of a problem in the past. Some relatively recent updated fixed some of the issues I was having.
I do still see the issue myself; it does seem to still take a hit when there are games in your library that were removed from Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for sharing. :) Will have to check it out.
In case anyone was interested, another site is this which can choose user/metascore/tags/features etc. Agree how helpful it is sorting things, helped me remove a couple hundred basically broken, old bundled/free games.

No need to ask the support, you can do it manually.
Done it plenty of times, I only want good games in my library, but steam likes to sneak some trash in there like brilliant bob and what not.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just do it yourself. Go to the Support page, type game title, choose to remove from library, done.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just sort your played games as favorites, or other custom categories
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah I hide the bad games from my library, my problem is the people that I share library with, it must be kinda annoying to go trough so many bad games to find the good ones

I already got one blacklist for just making this topic, wth people hahahah xD

I am new here, how did you know you were blacklisted? Cheers, Cruse~
Comment has been collapsed.
You can see the number of people that have blacklisted you going to that arrow next to your avatar on the top right, then "My Stats", it's going to be next to the end of the page ^^

OH! Thank you very much, I thought that was the number of people you Blacklisted or Whitelisted. Hahaha, Seems like I made 2 person unhappy. hahaha Hmm, that Luck graph is going downhill though >__<;
Thank you, Cheers, Cruse~

That's a really good point, I think I'll just delete them for my peace of mind as well, I'm trying to start really finishing the games I have so I think this will help me, thanks!
And yeah, I'll make sure not to delete any wins from here :D
Comment has been collapsed.
One thing you can do is have a separate group in your library for SG wins. That way so long as you check which group a game is in before deleting it you wont have to worry about accidentally deleting any wins.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just make a custom category for garbage games and put them in there. Or hide them from your library.
Comment has been collapsed.
I delete them. Removes clutter. I'm not a game collector.
There are probably a bunch of games I'll never realistically play, but as long as they're games I would play with infinite time, I keep them.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm trying to really play the games that I have so I think deleting the trash ones will help me with it in the end, thanks for your opinion!
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a category called "Garbage" that I conveniently throw everything I hate into and keep minimized so that I never have to see any of it again.. Never knew you can actually perma-delete games from your account until stumbling upon this thread! :o
Comment has been collapsed.
AFAIK, you cannot perma-delete a game. It's more closer to hiding the game than actually deleting it, since you can get them back with 1-2 clicks. They just don't show in your library anymore.
Comment has been collapsed.
Set Categories, mark them as "shit", collapse/hide.

I'm in this boat as well, I got some early wins in here that I regret (just really bad games) and today I just enter giveaways of games that I know I would play. I'll just delete the trash games and leave these few that I won from here :P
Seeing the comments makes me realize that I won't regret this decision, so thanks!
Comment has been collapsed.
I give at least a few minutes to every game in my library before deleting it. I never cared about how big my library was, but with so many good games to choose from I realized there were some I would never get around to (less interesting genres) unless I forced myself to play them. Some end up being fun enough that I changed my mind about deleting them, others that users on Steam really liked I ended up considering junk. Just keep in mind you paid for those games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mostly of the trash games that I own are from these random giveaways that always give the same bad games, so I problably won't have the "I paid for those" thing on my mind haha
But I get your point, I think I'll try some of them as well before just deleting it, maybe they could be fun and I'm just judging by the cover, who knows? Thank you!

Small lady :D
But as others already wrote - you can delete games easily. But licenses will stay tied to your account. So making list of games you removed is enough for an backup. They can be easily recovered later via Steam Support by picking "Game is not on my account" option.

When I go to my library, I only ever look at the installed games, anyway, and I hide most stuff that I really don't like, so permanently deleting the trash that I've gotten here and there isn't a big deal for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
Instead of deleting you can create a custom group for "bad" games and have all of them there.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1
Even though I have collected quite a few trashy games I am happy to try playing them and if they really are awful they go in my "Rubbish" category. Out of the way and not a bother :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Even with tons of junk, my Steam library is like 10 orders of magnitude easier to browse than my NAS, so... ๐๐๐
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, people that you share library with can just hide games they don't like.
Comment has been collapsed.
I went from 2300 to 900 games and I highly recommend doing it.
Steam recommends me way less trash now; I still kept the cards and badges; it's easier to find stuff I wanna play in my library, you can easily get them back, if you want/need; etc
I'm not stupid to pass all these bonuses just to keep a meaningless number.

Good afternoon (?) people!
I don't really make posts on the forum, but I was thinking about something that I would like your opinions on :D
Atm I must have 500 + - games on steam, at the begigning I just cared about getting more games (even if trash ones) to increase that number, but today I'm realizing that this games just pollute my library and makes it harder to find the good games (at least for the people that I share the library with) so I was thinking about asking the support to remove a lot of my trash games, more or less 100
What are your thoughts about it? Not about what I should do, but about the "delete/not delete bad games"?
Thank you :3
EDIT: Guys, I know that I can hide them from my library (they are hidden now), I'm mostly thinking about people that I share the library with, you know? It's a lot of garbage to go trought (in order to find good games) that don't really have a good reason to be in there :P
