Unable to delete screenshot

[GreenSwede]

Despite trying to delete a screenshot in the Media tab on my Deck, it refuses to get deleted.

What I did to accomplish this:
1. Take a screenshot
2. Upload screenshot
3. Go to your profile's screenshots on the Steam app/website
4. Delete the screenshot on the Steam app/website
5. Attempt to delete local copy of the screenshot stored on the Steam Deck
6. Nothing happens.

The screenshot only disappeared after a shutdown/restart.

I can confirm it still exists. Just ran into this today. As GreenSwede said, after a restart it was gone, but it should delete once you say delete.

Running into this too. Very annoying .

[Bugz]

Yep, this bugs just bit me too.

[THE DEATH]

Yes that is real bug. Also you cannot upload and share link. All screenshots are visible only to you. What is point of that? We need option to share screenshot for debug maybe?

[Capytoon]

Ok i found an answer go to your screen shot on the game say borderlands, highlight the screen shot and press the Button that has three lines top right near the thumb pad, then press it and it says delete

I finally figured this out. Firstly when in gaming mode take note of where the invalid games are in the grid of screen shots. For me I had 70 total screen shots. The first 20 were valid the next 49 were invalid and the last one was valid.

Boot into Desktop mode and navigate to home/deck/.local/share/Steam/userdata/{yourUserId}/760/screenshots.vdf

I'm not sure if 760 is fixed but regardless you want to find your screenshots.vdf file. Open that in Kate.

The screenshots are grouped by game id, The bottom of the list has the "shortcutnames" which tells you which game goes with which id.

 
"Screenshots"
{
    "7" // gameId
    {
        "0" // 1st screenshot in the list, first for this game
        {
            "type"        "1"
            "filename"       "7/screenshots/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            "thumbnail"     "7/screenshots/thumbnails/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            ... // a lot more file info here
        }
    }
    "11088889"
    {
        "0" // 2nd screenshot in the list, first for this game
        {
            "type"        "1"
            "filename"       "11088889/screenshots/20221025172350_1.jpg"
            "thumbnail"     "11088889/screenshots/thumbnails/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            ..
        }
        "1" // 3nd screenshot in the list, second for this game
        {
            "type"        "1"
            "filename"       "11088889/screenshots/20221026172350_1.jpg"
            "thumbnail"     "11088889/screenshots/thumbnails/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            ...
        }
    }

For each invalid screenshot delete the corresponding block

        "0" // 2nd screenshot in the list, first for this game
        {
            "type"        "1"
            "filename"       "11088889/screenshots/20221025172350_1.jpg"
            "thumbnail"     "11088889/screenshots/thumbnails/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            ..
        }

If all of the screenshots are invalid/removed for a game remove the whole gameId block

    "7" // gameId
    {
        "0" // 1st screenshot in the list, first for this game
        {
            "type"        "1"
            "filename"       "7/screenshots/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            "thumbnail"     "7/screenshots/thumbnails/20220925172350_1.jpg"
            ... // a lot more file info here
        }
    }

If you don't want to deal with sifting through this you might be fine removing everything but the shortcut names (do this at your own risk)

"Screenshots"
{
    "shortcutnames"
    {
        "7"                       "Name of Game 1"
        "11088889"         "Name of Game 2"  
        ... // many more games
    }
}
