Yep, same problem. Happened a couple hours ago, hopefully there will be a fix soon.

The only thing I can think of is that the demo licenses are still active on your account.

You can fix this yourself. You need to use the Steam application. Navigate to Steam Support, or use this link:
https://help.steampowered.com/en/
And then navigate through the menu, and look for "Data Related To Your Account."

You need to look for game or software licenses that are part of your account. The demo licenses can be seen and removed by you from there manually.

I believe if you do that, they will disappear from your Steam library. But you have to test it yourself.

The problem is I have a LOT of demos, so doing this is very tedious.

I still tried and I got "An error was encountered while processing your request:84" after removing a couple of demos and now I can't remove anymore.

I guess the system is not meant to be spammed. This has to be unintended.

Same here... with 320+ demos ... so I don't even bother to try to remove the demo licenses manually. xD

I hope, it will be fixed soon.

Same problem here! I now have over 500 demo, that I played over the years, showing up in my library.

Was also coming here to note this issue, got about 140 demos just blowing up my library now

It is what it is. I understand that it's tedious work. If you do not or cannot do it yourself, then you would have to contact Steam Support. But I am not sure if they can do it.

You're probably the only one who can fix this.

Well ... no ... I don't think that this is how it's supposed to be. So it's a bug and therefore should be fixed in the software and not by users messing around with stuff like demo licenses.
