How to disable borrowed games?
My brother gave me his account 4 years ago to enable family sharing on my account/computer. But he didn't go online for 2 years and just told me that he sold his account to someone. He forgot that he shared his games with me and told me to disable his family shared games on my account and I didn't mind 'cuz I almost never used his library, but I can't seem to find the option to disable borrowed games?

Nuke option... Log out. Go to your steam/config installation folder, (make a back up first) delete config.vdf , then restart Steam.
