"This Steam account is already linked to a different Social Club account. Please log in with that Social Club account instead."
I haven't been on GTA 5 for a good while now and when I downloaded GTA 5. It downloaded the Rockstar launcher and when the launcher opened, it greeted me with the login page and on top of the page it said that they couldn't log me in automatically and I have to manually login with this email I don't remember the name of nor the password to. So, I created an account another social club account so I can login, and when I login a message says, "This Steam account is already linked..." (And you probably know the rest of the message). But the problem is. I don't remember the email/password and nickname to the social club account that is linked to my steam. Is there any possible way I can unlink this account from my steam account somehow? And is there anything else I can do to fix this? Please tell me.

There is a high chance that you got hacked.
I seen this happen a lot, "hackers" essentially manage to get in your account and they change your email to theirs. If you do not remember owning an email with R at the start of it, and Y at the end, contact Rockstar support and explain what happened. They will help, as they have helped a lot of people with this.

Unlinking is not what you want. If you unlink, you cannot play. The key is a single use - nontransferable key. You cannot just unlink, and link a new social club account -

tl;dr/lazy - use this likk below to contact R* without logging in to RECOVER your account/fix/change email to one you have access to. Yep, many hoops to jump to prove you are the owner, have the steam account, cdkey etc, and days to wait/repeat yourself -

Why can't I not link another Social Club to my steam account?

Because R* says no. Single use, non-transferable cd key.

There 'are ways' to do it - requiring loopholes and/or other actions. You could go even further and play email tag back and forth for weeks/months with R* and Steam, but it will still require you to purchase the game 'again' if you want it on 'that' steam account.

I sent a web ticket saying if R* could change my email that is linked to my Steam account. But I don't remember the email that I used for my R* games account. Link to images <-- In that link contains images and in the second image there is a message on top of the login page saying it couldn't automatically login and it says an email that like I said can't remember that name of. So I don't know if R* could help with that since I already sent a web ticket talking about changing the email.[imgur.com]

No, unfortunately. I had to create a new account and buy a new copy of GTA 5. And Rockstar never replied to my email either.
