Suggestion: Could we remove or hide something we got from point shop?
At first, I would like to know if I can remove some items I purchased from the point shop. For example, some chat emotes I no longer use. I have too many, making it hard to find the ones I want.:foxhimezero_mori2:

I don’t need any points refund—I just want to remove unused items.:happykoala:

But, Steam Support told me:

Steam Support is not able to help remove items purchased with Steam Points, or items granted from participation in other Steam events. These items not being able to be removed or deleted by users is intentional as they are not marketable, tradeable or able to be repurchased from the Steam Point Shop.:hungryjaga:

At this time the Steam team is not looking at changing how this works. However, our development team will be looking at other potential alternate solutions for users who no longer wish to see these items in their inventory which may be updated in the future.:krcutebunny:

So, I think could we consider this: In the inventory interface, add an option to mark certain chat emotes as "hidden." This way, they wouldn't be displayed during chats or in comments. I think this could be a viable alternative solution.:Valiant_Pet:

After all, Steam already allows users to hide or set games to private in their game library. If it's possible to hide entire games, it seems feasible that hiding specific emotes should also be technically possible, right?:Batcat:

No they can't. Nothing from the Steam Point Shop can be sold, traded, or deleted in any way.
I once accidentally purchased too many Scrooge McDuck backgrounds. I contacted support and they removed the duplicate ones.
It would be very nice to have some aadvanced hide option to declutter the inventory from items we don't want to use for now. Or have some folder option to categorise them to our liking. :LWN_LittleBlackCat:

You can't purchase more than one of anything from the point shop. Heck, you can't even buy a background or emoticon from the point shop if you have the badge crafted version either. Trust me, I've tried and it won't let you if it's sitting in your inventory.

I dont know why I’d trust you over my lying eyes. It definitely happened.

Edit: it was prior to 2023 because my points redeem history doesn’t go back further than that despite definitely buying things in the point shop prior to 2023. Maybe it was possible prior to a certain date and they patched it.
