anyone know how to fix it. i cant buy the deluxe edition again there is no option to do that

That means you don't own the deluxe. In order to get the deluxe you have to remove oblivion completely from your steam account and rebuy the whole game with the deluxe version.

Open in Steam client (Library) and pick Oblivion. Use keg wheel (you see it on the right side with three other icon/buttons) and you should have some options there. From there go to Properties. There you have a tab with your games DLC and there you can enable/disable DLC.

From my own testing it will show Oblivion GOTY DLC and when checking store (from browser it will show that I own also Deluxe content - marked in store view as already in Library).

Don't follow that other posters advice to remove Oblivion GOTY as it very likely you already have that content from Deluxe.

Just make sure that in DLC section that Oblivion GOTY DLC have been enabled (radio box that can be toggled on or off) and that haven't by accident disabled DLC.

When you start a new game, you will get several notices on screen (about new item that is books or documents that can be found in your Inventory [last tab to right]) which leads to quest that will unlock Deluxe content and map markers that also will show new area which you can directly access from map, if you want to get those quest/items first.

In your quest log (Journal) you will also see new quests that are from DLC content.

If you use mod manager you will also see plug in (files that ends with .esp) that have name and DLC in the end.

From Oblivion in game, you should also be able to see those plug in listed when you press Escape key, go to Option and there you will have a mod section where you can control plug in loaded if you don't use any mods that will change vanilla Oblivion UI.

If the files don't show in his data files, he doesn't have the deluxe. It's that simple.

This game has a bug on steam where it'll say you own both but you don't and it's impossible to upgrade

I suspected this might be the case, but I was hoping for a solution. I contacted Steam Support regarding the issue, and if I find a resolution, I will update here.

Steam Support Response on Oblivion Deluxe Edition Issue
I reached out to Steam Support regarding the inability to purchase The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Deluxe Edition. They informed me that the Deluxe Edition is sold as a bundle and cannot be purchased separately. Additionally, if you already own The Game of the Year Edition, this bundle conflicts with it, preventing the purchase.
Since I have played the game for more than two hours, I am not eligible for a refund, and Steam Support advised me to contact Bethesda for further assistance.
My solution:
I plan to create a new Steam account and purchase the Deluxe Edition there, then play the game using that account.
I hope this information helps others facing the same issue! If anyone has found an alternative solution, feel free to share

the DLCs are terrible anyway, you'd be better off without them

You're not wrong. Not one of them adds anything of lasting value (I think), only minor convenience for a character just starting out. Say you need some quick storage or to spellcraft/enchant early, then frostcrag spire is a great starting home until you have access to the arcane university and own your home of choice. But you could just as easily wait it out until you do the admission quests for the university, and find a certain super cheap and pre-furnished home that the game practically throws at you once you find the NPC. The only needed DLC are KotN and shivering isles and those already come with the GOTY version.
