Steam remote storage

[!HotCakeX]

Steam allows us to view/download data saved in the clouds by the games in here
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage
but it also saves the multimedia data we share via chat as well, i could see the clips and pics i shared with my friend a month ago in there. so does it mean it counts towards our 20GB storage limit?
If im right that 20GB is supposed to be used only by the Steam cloud game saves and screenshots/artworks we upload to the Steam community. but this way if a user uses Steam chat a lot to share pics and videos with their friends then they will unknowingly fill up their space?

nce feature, only missing to delte files now...
and i think steam is saving chat now like on discord. the chat client doesn't let you scroll to much upwards due memory limitations, but browser one does. it's true the old one was delted, or inacessable...

The chat has been saved for years and years. It used to be 3ish months but you could only ever see it on the mobile app.

NSA saves it for decades, LOL
well, i think the browser shows more tha 2 weeks, but need to recheck

i think it's a limit to the cientsoftware itsself, not the servers

I've got an image from August 13th, so I dunno what the time-frame is or if there are specific triggers.

I highly doubt they will automatically get deleted, that guy says that because he read somewhere the chat history gets deleted, while that might be true, it doesn't apply to the multimedia contents we share since they are not really the "chat history".

Once i inserted a screenshot in the chat. I dont have an entry on the cloud page.

How long did you wait? It takes a while for my chats or multimedia to appear in those locations. Sometimes hours after.

I did it when the chat was new round about.

Huh... I have mine 70.99 KB Aug 21 @ 10:54pm.

That was not the only one I uploaded though. The rest are gone.

Just game cloud things for me.

Mine was the ban message I sent to a mod to be looked into.

The cloud saves for games are all listed as they should be. Just the 1 for chat uploads.

1) https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage

2) There's a list; one of them is "Steam Client".

3) You open that and there are two VDF files.

I see nothing pertaining to the chat there.

How do I view this in the Steam client app? All I can do is look at it from an internet browser. Context, I'm trying to delete cloud saves from remote storage.
