You can't, you just have to go over your library one by one like everybody else.:flowey:

Delete the account, you get them all at once without having to filter them out.

Sorry I have no idea how to actually help. But why do you have so many banned games?

Theres an option to hide the game, thats about it. I don't think you can permanently remove a game from your library without contacting Valve support or something.

free games giveaway to get their cards/increasing my library for getting library badge.

i had no idea if some of them have idling script for mining bitcoin, jeopardize the player's device including their identity and breaaking other steaam rules

and now i realize how dangerous that is if you instal the game LOL :cleandino::cleandino::cleandino:

sure you can do, doing it from library in the steaam client, but it's hard to filter it

You have the option the remove it from your account if you want. No need to contact support. Once it's gone you have to pay for it again though if you for some reason want to play it again

What do you mean by banned games?

Do you mean games that got delisted by Dev/publisher?

Do you mean games that got removed because deem low effort meme game?

Do you mean games that got removed because Dev did something to getting themselves banned that got their games removed?

So almost none then? I don't quite understand when you said all, but don't want to remove the real indie games that safe, and playable.

Well if that the case just check MMO games in your library that online only, and if server shutdown, and not playable then that be the game's you want to remove I assume.

I would say if there is anything you are unsure of just do an OS wipe and format and only install games you trust.

I see comments like crypto miners and data mining you just don't know what may be going on with shady software. Why chance it?

Don't buy shovelware in the future you only risk your account for a number of games you will probably never play anyway.

You can remove games from the steam support pages. There is an option to permanently remove games from your account. I do not think you can filter though you will need to select/choose titles one at a time.

If you list your games in the activation screen in your account you can remove any games that indicates it is complementary from there. I assume complementary is free to play items.
