Why can't we just dump or delete totally worthless items from Inventory?

[Aimee_Anasazi]

As the title says: there's useless stuff out there we accumulate...

In my instance, leftovers from the holidays (2018 into 2019),
specifically 2 totally worthless Trove swords: this the 2000-teens, I'm not wasting time playing games that look like throwbacks to the early 8-bit era.
2 useless swords I can't grind into gems,
can't sell for a lousy penny each,
and can't just outright delete them.

Totally lame.
Give us the option to just delete useless stuff that literally has no worth to even clog the Market with.

No argument there, I got the same stupid things.
As bad as those sale coupons we get when we create booster packs: if we know we're never gonna buy it, just let us delete it. And at least let us mark it "Ignore" like we can games in the Store, so we stop getting multiple useless coupons for the same games we still DON'T want.

If we can't grind useless stuff, or sell it for even $0.01, then let us outright just throw it away without having to wait week or two before it goes away on its own expiration.

I completely agree. There needs to be a way to delete unwanted items. I'd use it to rid myself of these darn unwanted coupons that are sent to me by Devs/Publishers. I really dislike that they are able to put items into my inventory.

I couldn't agree more. Hopefully soon will be corrected.

I agree but I can understand why they don't. because they don't want to have to deal with tons of support elmails to the tune of 'Items gone, can you restore plz' . Simply put. steam users have long proven many do not have a firm grasp as to the long or even mid-term ramifications of their actions, better to let it stay than to have to deal with the inevitavble whine fest.

Especially considering many of those types of items are one time special event typoes

A compromise would be to create a hide feature for the inventory where you could hide the stuff you don't want from normal view much in the same way you hide library items. The things are still in your in ventory but they will not be displayed in the inventory screen unless you click the 'show hidden' button

@ Start_Running, I get what you're saying, but there's no reason they can't use 2-part authentication to confirm deletion.

1/2 the time, oddly I have to confirm on my phone I'm authorizing to put items on the Market for trade, and half the time I don't. So there's no reason they can't implement multi-authentication to verify we want to permanently get rid of useless stuff.

If not THAT, then just give us an unlimited-slot reserve locker to throw all the useless stuff into: event items we can't grind or trade because reasons, coupons we don't need and can't trade, etc...(like, don't force me to keep a Eurotruck gingerbread house that serves no purpose in the game, no one wants to buy, and I can't grind it for gems)

You'd think so, But again, consider how many people still manage to accidentally give away their item, even with 2fA.

The simple truth is as said, someone will be hot-headed or drunk or somesuch now and then two days later regret and eant to undo the action.

That's sort of why I suggested Hiding them as the compromise. It would have the same effect as what you just said. namely, removing it from your casual perusal.

I want to delete entire games from the inventory screen. I got spiral knights swag from playing 5 minutes while grinding some badge 10 years ago.

Just let us hide the items
