Is there a way to remove my CustomID now?
Before you used to be able to clear your custom ID bar for your profile and it would set you back to the default SteamID64 format that your account is always stuck with. Can't seem to do that anymore due to Valve's multiple oversights when making the new edit profile settings. Any trick?

Yup. Take your SteamID & set that as the vanity URL.

Which still is a "custom" url and therefore the patter is again
https://steamcommunity.com/id/<SteamID>
which is not...
https://steamcommuntiy.com/profile/<SteamID>

I know you can do that but that's not what I'm asking.

I want to remove it so that I can easily give a permalink to my profile without having to save it somewhere on multiple devices. It was convenient so if there's no option for it then good job Valve on the 8000th renovation that, considering the loss of some functions, was unsolicited.

You don't need to remove it to be able to give them the link you want. Here's yours:

Valve changed it on their end. You can join the suggestion thread...

You do know if let custom URL all you have to do is remember the name you put.

Example if put ChandlerDude you can just tell them that https ://steamcommunity .com/id/ChandlerDude, the 1st part is always what it is, Steamcommunity /id/ then your name basically done, as you know it Steam community thing, and id just the id you set.

If you don't want to remember jack, and want to add someone tell them your friend code, just visit add friend page, and you see your friend code, and tell them, that's about it.
https://steamcommunity.com/my/friends/add

Or do what Hodman, and Hotscause pointed out, can same address on profile info box, or just copy and paste SteamID64 when visit account details.

They all lead to your profile, but if you change you profile URL a lot that make sense, but your friend code remains, and SteamID64.
