Steam now lets you remove games from your account, for good
Some people have more games on Steam than they’ll ever have time to play. Some of these are just terrible friend joke gifts, bundle extras they couldn’t get rid of, or maybe games they bought but no longer wish to own.
Steam now appears to have added an option for removing any abomination you do not wish to have associated with your Steam account. Remember, doing this does not get you a refund, it just removes it from your library.
The feature was noticed by Reddit user Jay_Nullbuilt, and you can try it out yourself by going to Steam’s help site.
The user also notes that games that were part of bundles can’t be removed individually, and the whole bundle has to go. This is true for both Steam bundles, and ones that all shared the same key – such as the ones offered by some bundle sites. Don’t fret though, the page will show you everything getting removed when you request a game to be removed.

This is actual news to me for once. I didn't know this was possible. Finally I can remove those terrible indie games I got on my account!

Its a good idea but can also be seen as bad in many different ways. What if your friend got access to your account and was sly about the games or you could also accidentally delete it for good :o

This is a good option, especially if it is games you do not play...
only thing I hope is that it gives you a pop-up option if you really want to delete it..

CB9 I wouldn't want to completely delete a game, not sure why you would want to
Some free to play games like Dota stay in your library even after you uninstall them. As a league player I don't want to see Dota in my library so I used this feature to remove it. Its not really going to be a helpful feature to everybody but it can be useful.

UZl At first i was like, why would you want to delete any games but then i saw " friend joke gifts". Now i understand. Seems like a very good feature to have in order to organize your library
You aren't forced to accept gifts that you receive. Still pretty pointless to me, but if Steam feels this was worth spending time implementing there must be a lot of people asking to have games removed.
