I used this script[steamdb.info] to add all available games and DLC. The script was useful... It added some really interesting free games and DLC. But at the same time the script added a lot of uninteresting games/demos as well (more than 2500!)
And how can I remove these?!? Manually?!? More than 2500 games?!?
If there is the script to add, so should be a script to remove. But I haven't found....
So I wrote my own script. And after a few month, I had the time to write this guide to share the script
Use this script at your own risk. If you decide that you don't want all that - not run the script. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to you and your account after using the script.

}());The script needs to be run from the console. How to open the development console in different browsers? If you suddenly forget it...)
| Browsers | Keys |
| Opera | Ctrl + Shift + I |
| Chrome | Ctrl + Shift + J or F12 |
| Firefox | Ctrl + Shift + K or F12 |
| Internet Explorer | F12, then click on the “Console” tab |
| Microsoft Edge | F12, then click on the “Console” tab |
| Safari | Cmd + Opt + C |
It's easy!)
For example, I use Mozilla Firefox 48.0.2.
- Open your licenses and subscriptions page in your browser.
You can go this way: "Account details >> View licenses and product key activations". Or you can launch the script on any page, and script will open the necessary page, where you need to launch the script again.
And you need to be logged in of course. - Open console in your browser
- Copy and run this code from the console
- When the analysis completes, you are prompted to remove all the available games (which have a delete button - as in the screenshot)
If you click Remove, script will start removal process. Or you can change number of games you want to remove. If you click Cancel, the modal window will be closed.
*Steam is changed: a limit was added on the number of requests from one IP address in a short period of time. As a result, you may get an error when removing more than 250 (according to Krad) games - Then the page wiil be reloaded and... Enjoy :)
- If you get an error ("Access Denied" especially), try to decrese number of games to remove and run the script again.
- Then you can thank the author, rate, add to your favorites, and share with friends :)
If you find a mistake in the text, or you have a good proposal to improve the guide or the script, I would be grateful if you inform me. Also I'll be very glad to your rank :)
Respect the work of others. No need to copy, modify, and distribute this information on your behalf. You can help change the guide and script and then share them with your friends.
Thanks for reading!
