How do I remove Achiements from games I don't even own or ever owned?
I would like to remove achiements from games I don't own, I've tried going to the "Help" Section and trying to look for permanenetly deleting the content from my account but that doesn't appear.
I've tried contacting support asking if they could do it themselfs but they said they can't even tho we all know they can.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem please help, I hate seeings the achiements on games I don't even own OR EVER OWNED.

You cannot remove such data even if you remove the game from your account.

Support can't help with that, it isn't what they're meant for, what you'd need is the devs working on the launcher to create an option but with this being such an odd case I'd find it unlikely.

You could try using Steam Achievement Manager to remove the achievements you don't want but I still can't wrap my head around how you got achievements for a game you don't own.

Unlocked achievements are stored server side and can not be removed.

See it this way: your profile records a history of what's happened. Since you've unlocked those achievements (SFS, amirite?), they're part of the history hence they're there.

I guess, but for example I wnated to do perfect achiements for games, those being there kinda ruin the feeling for me

If everything else fails, you can buy this game yourself. There's always a sale on Steam. Regarding this as history could work though, there will be records of you having fully-achieved some game and records of you having dabbed into another game. Having a record of you having dabbed into a game doesn't invalidate the record of you having fully-achieved a game.

Try this:
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/achievements/ach_guide#13
First command is used to clear Steam achievements, second - Steam statistics (like leaderboard entries) for specific game.
Do note, though: this won't make a number of "games where player have earned at least one achievement" go down. It'll correctly remove achievements and that's it. After all those are developer console commands for testing stat tracking/proper unlocking of achievements and nothing more.

You can use SAM to re-lock achievements if you dont want them.

How did you get these games on your account? Where they family shared with you?

Note, they didn’t appear on the their own.

Help us, help you.

They aren’t in your licences section? Note, not in your purchase history but in your license section?

I have a feeling you might’ve removed the games. If you did, you can restore them and then SAM might be able to remove those achievements.
