How to remove tools from my account?

[Demona Ren]

I have 94 tools on my Steam account, the overwhelming majority of which are associated to games that I've never owned. How do I get these removed? And don't say ignore them, because clearly I can "hide" them, but what I want is to not have them associated with my account, period.

Just deselect “tools” from your library virw

Yeah sorry you can't REMOVE them, you can just not view them.

Thats plain not possible. You cant remove them without removing the games and programs they are associated with.
Also, you ALWAYS had these tools, the new UI just makes them more visible.
Nothing has changed.
So untick the "tools" view option and get on with your life.
Or remove all games that have "tools" from your account.
Your choice.

Everyone has the tools even if you don't have the associated games, so removing the games won't help.

But yeah, the tools can't be removed in any case, so OP is simply out of luck if setting them to Hidden isn't enough of a solution.
