Is there really no way to remove dedicated server from account?

[steelplatedheart]

I only just noticed the many (like over 100) dedicated server tools I have in my account -almost all for games I don't play, many of which I've never even heard of. I know I can hide them via the filter button, but I don't want them hidden; I want to know why they are there in the first place.

Is it just easier in case you wind up wanting a dedicated server? If that's the case then why not all the dedicated server tools instead of just a hundred or so. Did someone else need a dedicated server and is using my username? I have no idea what this is, so I don't feel like I can safely just ignore it, and none of the forum posts I've seen have explained what it is, and why it can't just be deleted.

"Is it just easier in case you wind up wanting a dedicated server?"
Yes. Everyone have these tools forever, this is for if you want to run a server, or want to make things for a game if they provide you tools to do so by the game dev/publisher.

You don't have to use them, just ignore them.

- Dedicated server tool, that means, you can set up your own server on your system to host the server on.

- Creative / workshop tool, that means you can make MODS for your game.

If you have any other questions how to use them, how to set up servers, and etc, ask in the game sub forum, each game has their own forum.

Just hide the tools section in your library and you'll never see them

No, they are part of the game license. If you remove them you remove the entire game from your library.
But like already said:
A: they were ALWAYS there, they are now just visible when previously they were not
B: you can hide them easily with the filters your library provide and you will never see them

There really is no problem here.

Also, just saw this thread is already 3 years old.

uncheck "TOOLS" then you wont see them , most do this.


ps.
and nothing prevent you to make a game server for other friends, you dont need to own the game. ( maybe ita this what OP might not know )

its like option never activated the tool section should be seen as such, if that help with a explanations.


this is why you can do them or have options to make them
