did you ever feel like your account is becoming "dirty" over time

[qb]

and if so what kind of thing helped you to resolve the issue, i sparenlgly was successfull in some aspects by purging cloud stored information like comments etc if any help i think its something gotta to do with things like that that overtime "contaminate" account with useless infromation that sort of make you into feeling like there is something wrong with it, i do that with most of my social media accounts by periodically getting rid of old info but in steam unfortunately there is no easy way of purging old metadata without loosing purchased games along with it.

Change my past?

Nah.

I did what I did and I own up to it alll.

it seems that you're very bothered by something. I think you should ditch the cloud save world if you don't like feeling your account gets contaminated by something and move to local save stuff, in that way you can just get rid of the save files from your game, maybe stop relying on online multiplayer games because you can't control data? or host your own website and set it up as your own social media. You should never worry about getting dirt on your account if all you want to do in this platform is play and pause.

Its just a feeling.
Your profile is private.
Throw out this feeling.
Play your games.

The profile is a record of history. It simply shows what's actually happened. In that light, it's not dirty by definition.

you can delete account which it will cost you money of loosing all your games and items, ie someone with money to spare can do it, so it has nothing to do with erasure part if you willing to loose your purchased items, you all implying it here like a person is hiding something if they are unwilling to live with their account as is, however trashed it may be.

That jump from feeling your account to be dirty to deleting is quite a wild one, my dude! No idea why wou'd like to go that far but hey, you do you! Speaking of "you do you", nobody is implying anything. It is you who's talking about feeling dirty with your account, it is you who's using the term "trashed". Don't put your words into other people's mouths.

i got 0 use of my account other than what games are stored on it and to me it has no use other than playing games, same on social media which i use solely to watch gifs/videos, which is why i don't understand the need for loosing purchased items for the sake or erasure.

Stop talking about erasure, stop thinking about erasure. YOU BROUGHT ERASURE INTO THE DISCUSSION IN THE FIRST PLACE! If you feel there being no need to lose everything, don't lose everything. Don't erase. Problem solved.

Solve your security issue. Steam accounts don't get hacked, you have a security issue. Solve this security issue of yours!

so i dont need to argue why i want my stuff to be as private as i want

Then don't. I'm not talking about your profile privacy, you are. So have fun enjoying your private profile.

you cant solve security without true anonimzation, ie if you can be identified through metadata of your accounts your are going to be hacked over and over based on your identifiable information.

ie more stuff can be idfentified on your activity, it only is a temporary patch if you solve one thing next thing pops up, ie when you even delete all of the stuff on internet about you as soon as it accumulates online hacking will resume with increasing amount based on your internet footprint, ie its illogical and has no way of identefying since if it was lawful your accounts would get banned before the hacking wave.

Aside from this still standing on a rather questionable foundation of security superstition, what does that got do do with your initial topic, namely your profile/account being dirty?

that you dont care about any argument that i give you instead you present other nonrelated stuff here.

I am talking about what you are talking about:

That's what you said, that's what I'm talking about.

Thats because no one makes a steam account, puts games in it and thinks about erasure.
That this does not fit to your idea could point to the fact that your idea is maybe wrong.

To get in my steam account they need my username, password and code.
There is nothing i need to erase to keep it like that.

And security questions, you dont use answers that other people can know. And / or post such answers in any form online, or use an answer that is online.

Really, play your games. Dont erase your steam account to solve a feeling you happen to have.

Is there more to the story? To me, there seems to be more to this then what you are posting about. Did you use your account for something illegal or does the account have warnings or bans?

theoretically i could make emtpty account for games which i dont use and then family share to another account that i use 24/7 and then just keep deleting it over and over, is that fair? i mean as long as i dont purchase anything i can keep deleting it over and over, why is this type of thing biased towards people with no games, in games like tf2 same thing, people keep chetion on 0 game accounts and deleting them once they get banned, whats the actual point of purchasing games on steam if it makes you at disadvantage of eventually not being able to do same things as 0 game accounts.

Or, you know, you don't do any of this and just enjoy the game as-is.

You dont need to erase your account.
If you play your games and do good things.

is hacking lawful? why do you assume that hackers only hack "lawfully". you can be some old guy with no technical knowhow and repetaedly be hacked for no reason.

This will not happen "because" you did not erase your steam account.

good is a subjective judgement which many hackers use, which themselves is kinda questionable since non of the hacking is "good" or "lawful" in itself.

You do not get hacked "because" you didnt erase your steam account.
