Your info is valid enough, so past user and its game he has installed and you dont get removed. ( its like they forgot other login user at our pc. )

No idea where data is stored. To stop being presented with the option to choose which account when you load Steam do this

Close Steam
Open Steam
When presented with options of accounts to choose hover over the account you no longer want as an option. Bottom right corner has the option to remove the account, click it. The account should no longer be an option

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<Steam3ID>\

Probably this one? Careful not to delete your own (yours would be 185605381).

It's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata (default location).

You will see a numbered folder for each Steam user on your system. This is their 32bit AccountID. You can look up the user of each of those numbers here:

https://steamdb.info/calculator/

If you click Steam > Change Account, then when you login again, try holding your mouse over the avatar of the user you wish to delete. Three dots should appear, which you can click, and remove the account from your system.

After doing that, shutdown steam, and if the numbered folder associated with that account still exists, just delete it.

Should this not be the place
https://store.steampowered.com/account/authorizeddevices

You can try steam flush cmd ( google this in how to do ) if first option is not going to do it ( more reset steam to default , do have account name and pw rdy )

clear web cache Browser data ( could also have this, if we included login as a web page in steam login page. )

ps.
pay attention to metamec delete old or wrong user or word entry can be done in many boxes witha entry option most pop a list of past entry's

It will revoke the login credentials, but it won't clear user data from the local PC. OP seems to be saying that they logged in with someone else's account on their own PC.

I think it's good advice anyway though Iceira.

Feel free to wipe userdata here and see if this is the storage of it.
do exit steam first before you do.
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Steam

ps.
pro ppl rename it steam.old to make sure you have a backup and can restore it.

Problem is what do he mean with other steam user data, a game he hs installed , and OP will uninstall, shared account's and past user game installed could also be part of the issue here.

and he need to make sure other user is gone before he can uninstall them or wipe game folder inside steam, i think we have seen post with this before, how to get a info fromsteam then remove authorizeddevices and user should this not then solve itself.

you might want to post at steam ticket or try Suggestion & Idea's problem with this is lack of info how to do.

i post steam guide section

Can I use multiple Steam accounts on one computer?
Yes, you can access different Steam accounts from one computer. However, you may only access one account at a time.

The accounts will share the core files for any games the accounts have in common, but each account will maintain its own custom content and configuration files.

they dont explan hhow to remove them.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
