Steam lovers have long since been requesting the ability to remove games from their Steam library and not been able to do so.

Select “I want to permanently remove this game from my account”.
If you have a Steam account, you’ve probably done it at least once: bought a game you either instantly or later regret buying. If you don’t, you’ll have to manually remove the files from outside of Steam.
Gamers with significant others may want to consider either changing their passwords or not angering their better half if they know your Steam password, as there appears to be no restriction on how many games you can permanently remove at once.
The method is almost identical to that of the Steam client.
As users on the site NeoGAF have pointed out, it’s finally possible to have a title permanently deleted from the game library.
There are only a few situations where deleting games makes sense.
It’s also worth noting that you can only delete some games-for instance, third-party bundles redeemed via keys-by removing the entire package they’re a part of from your library. Punch it in there, and click on the game when it comes up.
Steam still allows users to stash their unwanted games in a hidden folder, though games that are hidden are still available to play.
Check the “hide this game in my library” option and click ok afterwards. You didn’t need to have it installed, but every one of your games would always be displayed while scrolling through your full library.

The game is removed from the library immediately, and it won’t come up in searches either that you perform.
