Achievements can be reset by Steam Achievement Manager.

This is not a supported method..
It doesn't delete play history either.

You can delete games from your account, not sure how it deals with achievements and play history..

all stats for all games are tied to your account forever and are visible through public profiles.

Achievments, gaming time and play history are forever bound to your account, regardless if you removed the game.

I thought you could simply delete the game from your account and all the stats would dissapear until you bought the game again?

At least that's how it worked for me. Dragon Age 2 doesn't even show up anymore on my profile in the "Games" list. (played time etc.)

stands to reason that the game wouldn't show up anymore in your profile but the stats etc still count as far as i know the achievements you've unlocked in any game you've completed still counts to your global achievement % score if you delete the game.

The stats (playtime, achievements) disappear (with one exception; see below) in the sense that no one can see them, but they are still associated with your account in Steam's database. If you ever re-acquired Dragon Age 2, your existing history would all come back.

That is correct. If you earn at least one achievement in a game, it will always and forever count toward your Average Game Completion Rate, even if you have the game removed. (Same with free-weekend games and family-shared games, and even if you re-lock achievements using Steam Achievement Manager.)

I want this to delete too... Some games on my list are time eaters... It's just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ complete them... and I don't want. Like Transformice. Other games, like Dungeonland can't be played anymore.

You can't delete history, not until there's time travel, that is. But you can set your profile to private. You can also create a new account and share the games.

Not every game can be shared, and more importantly, this will inevitably lead to "I accidentally bought/redeemed a game on the wrong account, how can I transfer it?"

People just worry too much about their stupid game history, Like anyone cares.

If you go to your account inside the steam application, by selecting the drop down menu that is the name of your steam account and selecting profile. You can click edit profile, there will be a toolbar on the right. Select Privacy Settings, here you can choose to set your game details to private. It won't delete a specific game from your history, but it will hide all of your history and achievements. Not sure if this helps, but I think it is the closest thing to a solution that you can do.

I think you pasted the wrong link, this is just a link to this very same discussion thread. If you do have a way to accomplish this I'm sure we'd all be interested!
