I thought about doing little cleaning my Steam groups through Steamgifts, but appears that I have 61 groups listed in here, yet only 50 at Steam. After checking some groups, seems like Steamgifts still have page with data, yet inaccessible in Steam due latter removeing for rules violation - "This group has been removed for violating the Steam Community Rules and Guidelines."

EDIT: during NoSenses provided solution I also discovered that Steamgifts includes game groups as well (for me Payday 2 and Rust)

Should there be a way to remove Steam removed groups?

I know it has nothing to do with your issue but it's still a group thing, on Steamgifts it shows I am a member of 2 groups which I found out are just 2 games I put on Follow, what's that about!?

yup, these are some different category groups, never thought about it that way, I remember early days of Payday 2 that the gave away couple skins if you join their group (but as far as I remember then those groups weren't indeed normal groups but you had to give them follow at Community page)

Yeah I never knew about that so was very surprised that I saw those 2 groups... will stay in them since I want them on my followed, but I have 100+ games on there and only those 2 are shown as a group here, weird stuff!

quite weird indeed, especially if they don't display them in Steam why send out through API
well okay, if there is that data in db then by it should be advanced option for endpoint (ofc I haven't used Steam API so can't be sure about anything)

This script asks you for your Steam Web API Key. Is that safe?

Not sure but it can be revoked at any time and a new one generated.

according to code there doesn't seem to be no third-party requests only you communicating with Steam (same as like clicking at Steam own page)

I gave it a try and it seemed to work. Removed 2 groups. Thx

it needs an api key because it uses this Steamworks Web API:

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi/ISteamUser#GetUserGroupList

looking at the code, it seems perfectly safe (haven't tried it myself yet)

Thx. I revoked the key after I used it just in case.

haha sure, but the api key is never shared and only used to call the Steam API function, the source code is right there to inspect ;)

btw the script asks for the api key once then stores it in local storage for convenience, so you would want to also click the "Remove current Steam API Key" button which the scripts provides.

Same thing with the friends list I think, because it shows some people that are not friends with me on Steam anymore.

I wonder how that could happen :/
out of my 84 "friends" only 59 have used Steamgifts

It is possible that the site only matches users when they first joined SG and doesn't check afterwards so it just continues to add up. However the list doesn't include the people I temporarily added so I can send them gifts. Perhaps it also requires sync with API.

Weird enough, I don't have this problem on groups list however. I used to be on many different groups but the list only shows the current ones. Probably there is a way to sync them but I don't know how.

there is only one sync button for whole sync, and I don't have any "old" friends

Well it seems to be a bug and most likely not on SG side because all SG do is to pull data through API. Sync should cover all of this but not so sure though.

Ohh I remember what that is. It was some hidden Valve test app that had a cat picture in the thumbnail, that's why I had it - so I could have a cat pic on my profile. I have no way to remove it now, sadly
