Family Sharing ruined my account

[♡ HisGoodGirl ♡]

I unchecked giving access to steam library, but my brother's games are still on my account. How to I get them to stop coming up on my account without having to install them first? I don't want to have to delete my Steam account and make a new one...

Steam will show all installed games on the computer. Doesn't matter if it is family shared or not. You can click on Library and select your name to only show your games.

Then I will have to make a new account?

They will still show as you are using the same computer. Making a new account won't do anything.

Steam will display all Steam games that are installed on that computer.

No no, we have separate computers. He has his own but pestered me about letting him play my games on his computer and to do that, he had to log in on my computer and now I can't get his crap off my account.

uninstall games you don't own? restart computer afterwards?

That isn't how it works. If he wanted to use your games, you would have had to log onto his computer.

The games are not on your account. They are displayed (if not-installed) due to family sharing. He can revoke family sharing from his account.

None of his games are installed on my computer, he only played games I do own. But his games are still showing up in my library. That's the issue I'm trying to solve.

That tells you how to disable Steam Family Sharing.

I've disabled it already. That doesn't make HIS stuff go away. Would I have to disable access to my account on his computer too?

First step is to try playing one of the games that you don't own.

If you can't do that, the games are simply shown on your box for some reason, probably because Steam has known about them at some point. You can figure that out later.

If you can still play the game, it means the other library is still shared to you.

He has to cancel your access to his account, you can still give him access to yours without seeing his.

There should be somewhere in settings that if you click says deauthorize all devices or I know of you uninstall steam and reinstall it (you don’t need to make a new account) it should put it all back to normal

I don't think you can turn off games shared too you, only from you. The sharing account has to revoke game sharing.

I have found no control over the games list from my incoming family shares, they do.

Try going up top on Help>Steam> (Game name)> I want to permanently remove this from my account, alternatively right click on the game>set categories> hide this game
