How do you hide all the hidden games in your library.

All my hidden games suddenly popped up in my library, and for the life of me I can't make them go back to being hidden. So how is this done? (and why is it so unintuitive?)

[☆ƧQυiяяєL♫]

On your Steam client, go to "Library" and on the pull-down menu, "Home"

The left-hand side list, right-click on the game, a pop-up menu will appear, scroll to "Manage" to open another pop-up menu, select "Hide this game"

If that doesn't work, then right click on it and choose "Add to it" and select "+Collection" which is another group or dumpsite for all your hidden games and call it "Hidden games" and move your game(s) there :D

Thanx. I knew how to go about hiding individual games, but what happened was a bunch of stuff that had been hidden before now showed up on my main library under the category "uncategorized", and it looked like I would to go thru and hide them one at a time. Finally, after looking around again, I found a tab the said "tools" & "soundtracks" which now had check marks next to them. When I unchecked them, all the useless stuff disappeared again. I don't know why the check marks suddenly appeared on those tabs, because I certainly didn't check them off. It was also eye opening to see all the crap that various games had installed on my computer.

What I can't figure out is how the tab for soundtracks and tools got checked when they had never been checked before and I hadn't checked them.
