Howzit guys,

lol, that's actually a good question. I'd like to know as well please. :D
Right click on the game and select "Delete local files' - should do the trick.
Right click -> Delete local content is the best Steam does. I've got a pile of games I regret buying sitting in my list :/
Right click, Delete Local Content ?
EDIT:
Oh... nevermind :p
Season of Mystery: The Cherry Blossom Murders would be one of mine........ :o :DQuote:

Thanks guys I did that but now I'm left with a name in the list :(
installing linux will also uninstall the beta game...
I use Win7 mate ;)Quote:

Seriously though they should work on this feature.
You could make a category Z_Useless Games and tag them with that and that would be the best you can do.
The beta was forced on me, but I guess I will have to live with that useless name now :(Quote:

Add all the stuff you don't wanna have clog up your screen into that category, and at least that way, it looks a bit more neat.
I've read on the Steam forums that you can ask support to remove a game from your account if you really don't want it, there's nothing official to say they do this but you could always try.
hate steam. bought warhammer dawn of war 2. when i intalled it i had to download 8 gigs of updates b4 i could play the game. even the steam guys said there is no way arround it. Grrrrrrrrrrr
That's because you had fail. You should have stopped the installation. Removed it and tried again. What happened was not 8 gigs of patches, but the game downloaded itself instead of using the disc for installation. It happens from time to time.Quote:

Using Steam launch options to install retail games from disc
Log in to Steam and click on Library.
Right-click on the game, select Delete local content, and confirm.
Insert the first disc into your computer.
Close Steam (Steam > Exit).
Press Windows Key + R to open Run
In the Run window type:
"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -install E:
Replace E: with the CD/DVD drive you are installing from if is not correct.
Replace C:\Program Files\Steam if your Steam installation is not in the default location.
Press OK. Steam will launch and ask you to sign in if you do not have your password saved. Your installation should continue from the disc.
Yeah, but there is no way around updates though.
No, but would you want to play an un-updated unpatched game?
Nope, but thats the main complaint I always hear, 'Why must I wait for 5GB to download' etc etc.Quote:
