Remove the uninstalled free to play games on library
I used Steam a lot from when I was in school, which means I had no money to buy games and as a result played a lot of free to play games. Now my library is filled with 50+ free to play games I don't care about anymore which is pretty annoying when I'm trying to discuss with friends what games to play. Can we just remove free to play games from our library that we don't have installed. It's not hard to find them on the steam store.

Control+Click all of them, right click one and choose remove.

It was there years ago, Valve removed it. People complained, Valve added them back.

Many people asked that these games stay in the library after you uninstall, but Valve made it easy to remove any free to play game with a couple clicks.

Right Click on Game > Manage > Remove from Account. (removes complimentary license)

You can also just hide the games if you don't want to remove your license. Use the search filter and put free to play in the search box to easily go over the games you might want to remove.
As said you have the ability to remove them (but people including myself wanted this to come back), but a faster way to select all F2P titles then remove/hide them all would be good to have for those that want it done faster.

I know, then you can select them all and hide/removing them is possible but to be able to have a universal option to not save F2P games would be helpful too for those that don't want them to stay.

At first I wanted that option back, but after a while I like it how it is now. Once you go thru all the stuff you played over the years, it's easier from that point on to just deal with each title individually. Sometimes you just want to save some hard drive space but might want to go back to the game later, other times you know you never want to touch it again.

You can ctrl click or shift click games to remove them

You can also filter via "free to play" to make it easier to find them for removal

Well that's 100 games gone from my account. Thanks for the help everyone. Had no idea you could do this.
