Incorrect Number of Items in Wishlist

[Booger]

On my Steam homepage, it says I have two items in my wish list (looks like this): Wishlist (2). However, when I go to my wish list, only one item shows. Is this a known bug? Or did I have a game on my wish list that was removed from the store?

It's not a big problem, more of a nuance. Just wondering if anyone knows the fix, etc.

Thanks in advance.

There are two problems right now with wishlist. One is glitch, second is problem.

1. If you have game that removed from store (or even not accessible in your current region) - it hidden in wishlist, without any consequences (except too big count number).

2. Since Saturday, many people (including me) have problem with wishlist where WHOLE LOT of it is hidden, as if some filter activated. No controls are visible too (again, just as with filter).

It's easy to check which case do you have: if in "ranked" view you see numbers, it's case 1. If it's absent as in any other view - welcome to the club. ;)

Some people already recieved an answer from steam support saying: please go to the forum and check if someone have the same problem.

I already send a ticket and i even write: please don't send me to the forum nobody there knows what to do.

I'll submit a ticket and see what they tell me.

Our team is currently aware of a bug that is preventing certain games from displaying correctly or from being removed from a wishlist.

We thank you for your continued patience while we investigate the issue further.

Please note that Steam Support does not have any information regarding a time frame for an expected fix for this issue.

Aaand - it fixed! :)

For future solution seekers: If the Big Picture Mode doesn't let you remove the phantom game from your wish list, go here as learned from Steam user "wuddih":

https://store.steampowered.com/dynamicstore/userdata/

Find the phantom game on that page, like this:
"rgWishlist":[717690]

Then do this as learned on Reddit from user u/frkcrc:

Put the appId where it says APP_ID_HERE in the code below. (Don't include the brackets)
Go to your wish list in Chrome, open Devtools (Ctrl+Shift+I), click on the Console tab, paste code in, and press enter.

$J.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: g_strWishlistBaseURL + 'remove/',
data: {'appid':'APP_ID_HERE', sessionid: g_sessionID}
});

All it does is send a request to Steam to remove the game - exactly what Steam does when you click on the remove link.




Hope this helps someone in the future solve this problem a little quicker than the time it took me to find a simple solution with as little code and as much transparency as possible.

Instead of removing those files, can it instead find and show them?
