How to delete aliases?

You can't delete them, but you can change your name enough times so those names won't be recent enough to appear on the list.

[Mr. G]

You can't, but like said above, if you change it enough it will write over your old ones.

I believe the last ten are displayed.

Well you chose them you need to own them I'm afraid. ;)

You can go to my profile, look at my previous nicknames and copypaste that invisible symbol for a nickname as many times as it would require to clean your nickname history.

How?

err you don't know how to copy and paste on a computer?

Okay.. go to Yuuta's profile. Click the little arrow so you can see Yuuta's old alias.
Now left-click on your mouse. HOLD left click down and "highlight" an empty/blank line.
Right-click once the "blank line" is highlighted and pick "Copy"
then go to your own profile Nickname area.. Right-click and pick "Paste"
Confirm to change your profile.
Repeat.
Sometimes "delete" one bit of the "blank line" or add a little more (paste a second time) etc
Until you have 9 various versions of the "Blank line".

You can't delete them, as everyone else has said.

My only suggestion would be to look at my profile and see what I did with mine. I changed my display name to several different emoticons before settling with Mikado, so my previous name history is as good as gone.

I know one thing

the less steam leaves the choice for users to customize their profile, including the display of the history of nicknames, the more it gives advantage to competitors, which is harder to catch than to warn.

and the situation in which the user is not given the opportunity to abandon the public history of nicknames, this is something that many users do not like, do not like this drop-down list.

steam can make the settings in the item when activated, which nick automatically disappears from the nickname history after 10 days. 10 days is quite enough that the user's nickname on the nickname and settle with him all the questions that arise in the game or find out his identifier for this nickname. after all, for this purpose, steam made this story, that would settle the disputed issues and that the user could not change the nickname quickly and it became difficult to find.

if steam adds an option to the settings to turn off the history of nicknames, then the old nickname will be deleted from the story in 10 days, then many users will be happy, but Steam will not do it, although there is no sense from this story and therefore steam gives competitors a potential advantage.

That's the thing with history: Unless you're a dictatorship, you can't change it.

Remember when direct competition was seen as a tangible threat? Then they started buying up exclusives, got rather successfully boycotted as far as gamer boycotts go, and Tim Sweeney pivoted the whole thing to a global litigation campaign against Apple. Which, despite failing domestically, was more successful than the store itself.
