How to completely delete and reset all Steam controller data?
I want to delete all controller data - profiles, templates, bindings, and everything else, both local and cloud-based. Does anyone know how to do this?

Basically I want to start completely from scratch.

@Space i have done everything u had said twice now

I im using a ps4 controller and DS4 it was working earlier today.

all the works now is the ps4 tough pad and it acts as a mouse.:steamsalty:
I could not test with a PS4 controller. Those steps were ment for a wipeout in the controller preferences and may change the behavior of unwanted controllers. But as said by SprayRate, PS4's are different and I believe it has simplified compatibility. In big picture, or outside there is a controller tab in the settings, no need for tampering in the steam folder.

You need to describe what is going wrong for people to help you.

Y'all still out here? I've been unable to adjust certain keybinding on my logitech and suspect steam might have something to do with it. id like to reset the profile for it

If it is a simple adjust you may be able to do it in the in-game "Controller configuration" inside Big Picture.

SOLVED THIS ISSUE! might work for you guys too hopefully. I was having the same issue, my controller analog stick seemed to drift when i would barely touch it and it seemed to be right after i set up controller configuration for my xbox 360 controller.
My solution-
1. unplug controller (this seemed to be what i was missing as this is what allowed me to open my genereal settings and resolve the issue).
2. open steam settings and click "general controller settings"
3. now you should be able to see list of controllers and the one you configured should be selected with a check mark. simply un-click this and plug your controller back in and it should work properly again, worked for me hope this helps guys.

Lucky you, I happen to know where all the profiles are saved

Programs\Steam\userdata\10555151\241100\remote

if its not that exact folder it'll be in userdata and then a few subfolders like shown above

what mine looks like. Controller config is where the individual game configs are stored.

from here you can 'purge' all data however I'm not sure if this'll actually clear it or not, but this is worth a try. Just remember to back them all up first.

I'm not sure exactly how to find specific games from all these numbers but the .vdf files are saved as what you name the profile so you could find a "Rocket car" profile that's specific to RL easily through search

but again, I'm not sure if this will actually clear the problems up. So alternatively, you can opt in/out of steam beta and see how that changes things

THIS! I had a similar problem and with the combination of this post and what I had figured out so far a was able to delete e reconfigure my GENERIC controller. I am not sure but it may work for the Steam controler.

1- Steam - settings - account - beta participation- change to: steam beta update
In the meantime and before restarting steam I did. (Not sure if beta is required)

BACKUP BEFORE DELETING IS ADVISED
You may delete configurations and preferences from ALL your controllers.

2- Find: \Steam\userdata\-YOUR USER NUMBER-\241100\remote - Deleted everything, including the remotecache in the directory before
3- Steam\userdata\----------\config\controller_configs\personalization - Deleted everything.
4- \Steam\userdata\----------\config\controller_configs\apps - Deleted everything.
5- Open steam - big picture - settings - controller settings - uncheck your target box - connect controller and see if steam recognises it - disconnect - check box - connect and by this point it sould give you option like is a new controller.
hello followed all your steps but the problem still persists, with a ds4 controller. :(

What do you mean by "go up always"?
Are you testing in a game? Big Picture mode? Desktop? The problem happens everywhere?
Assuming you are talkin about the Steam Controller the first thing that comes to mind is that the gyroscope is on.

For some reason the configuration of the gamepad in Steam Link made it stop working when connected directly to the PC. This post is old but helped me to fix it, so I just wanted to say thanks guys. Very appreciated.

I want to do this too as I mucked up my xbox one, and I can't fix it as the focus doesn't work properly.. i literally can't re bind it! Surely there must be a way to just delete all saved controller config in steam app?
Lazy Sourdough 2020 年 7 月 24 日 上午 10:59 
I am having similar problems, I cannot get steam to not remember a Generic Controller. Also, my controller has "ghost" inputs when I try to reconfigure it, ghost down d-pad constantly. Clear and reset doesn't do anything. Very user unfriendly.

You can give this a try to have it not load the cloud configs, I had a similar problem where plugging in a controller would pull a cloud setting that wasn't working but I couldn't remove or fix it. Other suggestions like deleting config file settings didn't work (and I'm not sure why they would as it pulls from the cloud not locally).

Right click your game > properties > general tab > "Steam Input Per-Game Setting (Requires Restart of Game) > FORCED OFF

So even though when you plug in your controller it pulls your cloud data this should disable it when you load your game (and perhaps you can reset the controller in-game?)

Proof of fix, I use a unique controller for fighting games and noticed on Linux when I plugged in my controller it pulled the janky cloud settings (made a while back in Windows) which dropped inputs and made the game unplayable, though it worked fine with a separate controller of the same type.

Forcing off input per-game setting makes the controller work flawlessly, when I turn it back on the controller stops working.

Seems like we should be able to delete our cloud configs but this is a pretty easy fix.

Hope this helps.

All I know is, I am trying to deal with a calibration issue with Steam support, and I have never in my 48 years experienced a single thing like it. 2 WEEKS now and 4 replies and they never answer a thing I actually ask. This is the worst support from any developer I have ever received.
I did try one thing he said, to delete the controller settings in VDF, but it just recreated it exactly with the broken calibration. Trying to find a way to reset the analog stick calibration, as they were way better before manually calibrating. You should see my clear articulated messages with numbered bulletin points to support, and what I am getting in reply. It's mind boggling to say the least.
