right im just super ocd and nit picky if its something I cant do i just sit and linger in it until i go insane lol.

Well in that case, the best bet is to be introspective and change YOU. Simply because there are many things in life that will also trigger this sort of thing going forward and it will no go well.

Trust me on this one.

Though I get your point about keeping it tidy and that. I guess it's more of a case of being efficient with your time or picking your battles.

nicely worded its that or reinstall windows for crying out loud haha

No problem. I try to offer the best info I can for ENJOYING your gaming experience to the max, whatever it may be.

I kind of avoid things like this by simply brishing it under the carpet - not visitng there much.

yeh, it was freaking halo insider program from halowaypoint.com they removed it from the library i believe im not sure if i did or not. but it was stuck cuz it was gone from steam library and thats where add or remove was redirecting it. i just had to learn a bit about registry editor.

Recoommend learn and use CCleaner , not because i say so, but because they have been there and fix so many issue over time , with windows or should i say thirdpart app that dont follow standard rules, ( and worst part they also try fix other issue, but as all apps goes today they are also a issue with (( meme buy me offer ))

thats okay, problem is that is a experience professonal app, ( rule is dont fiddle with things you dont know about, use standard untill you know better.)

so many things you can do in there, that dont mean tick all on and do it.

No but , you know very well with steam 1 billion user there is always 1 that think tick all options and clean all out , and then windows cache and all need to be fetch, and what is a option remove userdata , then you just shoot yourself in the foot.

( you know then you have look through all the options , that just because you can dont mean its a good thing )

its a advance user app ( whatever that is ) skilled or know what the hell you are doing.
im not try to scar you, look through them and i bet you say , i dont know the consequence of all them i have never hear about or know was there. ( i need to maybe read abit about them )

yeh i used to like remove and optimize and do everything but it becomes a chore and you dont want to leave out anything and end up resinstalling because you clicked optimize on like razer cortex and nvidia geforce control panel yadda yadda.

yeah we agree on user own Responsibility and faulth for doing them.( but other then that great app if you need it ) and ask any experience windows user from the past , most know ccleaner, so today noone mention it anymore.

Just posting my solution.

This is post-clean windows install (done for a different reason) and I still had the issue.

Insider still showed under the "Steam Library Folders" window. Went to try uninstalling from there and it showed an app number: "App 1240410".
This corresponded to a *.acf file under "\Steam\steamapps\" as well as a document under "\Steam\userdata\[numbers]\config\librarycache\"

I also found a folder called "MGS Test App 6" under the "\Steam\steamapps\common\" that matched the file size shown for Insider (~19.4 GB).

Deleted all three of those, restarted steam and its back to working.

Nothing wrong with manual wipe of folder. problem be sure you have tryed the uninstall first. many forget things in leftover in windows registration database and other folder location and why most use CCleaner to fix such,

this is same as a storage space, you throw something out and yet you still forgot parts to a device you dont have anymore. ( cant say its ccleaner job to fix what game devs job is then they create it ) but windows user have learn from the past things was not clean up in the system as they thought it was. ( so know ther consequence of use that app or as you did wipe a game folder ) thats why ccleaner was born, clean up in temp folder and do what we all had to do manual in the old days, go into temp folder and wipe data. ( you need to be experience as user to know what you are doing , ( sense then have this not always been this way ) point is we seen user that dont know such and start delete thing they should not have deleted.

as windows user require some minor skills ( nothing wrong with that, give you option as deal with it, over the system will force its choise over whatever you do, its a balance with easy and actual have a choise. or should i say feel like you have. )

could say then you do manual task today, then you are responsible and over in most know what you are doing. ( expert )
