Help Needed: Error Removing Games from Library (Error Code 84)
Hi everyone,

I recently made a big mistake by adding around 2,000 games to my Steam account using SteamDB. Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate the chaos this would cause in my library. Now, my favorite games are lost among a sea of other titles, and it's been quite frustrating.

I've tried to clean up my library by removing the games I don't need, but I keep encountering an error. Every time I attempt to delete a game, I receive the following message: "An error was encountered while processing your request," along with Error Code 84.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on how to resolve this? I'd really appreciate any help or advice you can offer.

Thank you!

I kept getting error 84, i restarted steam and it let me delete another game but all subsequent games i tried to remove gave me error 84.

try waiting 20 minutes, it sometimes let me remove another game and then every subsequent games after the first gives me error 84. maybe if you remove 1, wait 20 minutes, remove another, wait etc.

ps.
Ask steam for uninstalling schdule cue to remove games then steam is rdy for it, sense it can be seen as a task over time ( you might laugh now , but you forget we other have seen incoming traffic with data that get automated handle because of the flow of the traffic )
same as windows in the past uninstalling thing then system was rdy, sure it was marked for uninstalling but task did it later. )

Many windows usre have seen this, many hate it, but fact is its a system issue with server also now cant see any other way , so ask steam suggest dont expect us to make a request for you , we are steam user like you, and this is nothing new only steam devs that might see aa a tip in this.

We are user here, and i and other will not make request then we dont have a issue with it, only ppl with the problem should make request steam own advice.

Even Reboot, other steam user had a good point from other steam post, maybe better to remove steam library from system and wipe it, problem here is what if this is a mix of both keeps and unintsall then it will not be a good idea. ( only you know what you have per drev see steam storage management .

And now ppl might get the dump the uninstall procedur at shadule cue, so things get done in off peak hours,

ppl forget uninstall a product only need to be marked, system will reclaim it then it need the room. it could be seen as lesser double task first unintstall then reinstall other games you need now. ( its more how you look at it )

If you know what's what you can do it more quickly from within your library, I believe. Right click a game, Manage, Remove from account - I'm pretty sure it only appear for things added to your account for free, and shouldn't appear for anything that cost money.
But you have to do it one at a time... I'm genuinely shocked you can't select multiple (Ctrl + Click, or Shift + Click) and hit Remove from account, the option doesn't show up if you do select multiple. And then doing it through the licenses page too quickly, or doing some kind of script to automate it comes up with the 10 minutes rate limit - that's only 144 games a day, and that's if you have it set to (or manually) remove one every 10 minutes. There are so many demos, prologues, and just like free MMOs that are shut down and don't even have store pages anymore...

So now its steam faulth you mass add games, and now need aa mass uninstall solution.
i know you do not like the reply for F2P games, but is this not the truth. they are not being treated as bought game titles.

And in steam storage there you can mass uninstall most titles.

im only a steam user here, that can see this, i cant be the only one, that demos and other F2P service will never have same services.

all this has a costin registation, ( so there is a cost with it ) as user you dont see that part of it.

im not here to defend steam, but any kind of regi of data is a cost. ( i have learn this on other things diffrent wan line has cost and cheepest line win until full access then it open next more expensive one. ) even 1 bit in data * by 1+ billion steam user data in storage we other dont care about has a diffrent range in bigger companys. ( and be happy someone bother to tell you this.

as privat user most here will say 1 bit who cares. ( dont forget name registration is longer then 1bit. ) and yet we still dont care but steam need to process every change you do. ( more cost on the topic.

well lets stop here sense we have no clue how much steam server had to deal with it. only they know. ( this is low task handling and will not be change i bet. )
