How can you delete Steam server browser history?

How can you delete Steam server browser history? -

So I want to delete my Steam game server browser history, because there's old servers that keep coming back, and Malwarebytes keeps blocking outbound IPs when I open the server browser on the history tab. There are game servers hosted on blacklisted IPs, so I want to delete them to stop the notifications. I am absolutely certain the server history is related to the steam cloud because:

  1. I have deleted all steam files and redownloaded it

  2. I have tried right clicking history results to remove, but steam recreates the same serverbrowser_hist.vdf files.

The Steam AppID for the browser is "7".

Is there a way I can totally wipe the Steam cloud and reset everything INCLUDING steam server browser history?



Best Answer

You might be able trick Steam into uploading a clean copy of the file if you edit/clear it rather than just deleting it.

However, you could as well use the more or less official way:

  • Open the server browser.
  • Click the first entry in the list.
  • Scroll all the way down and shift-click the last entry.
  • This should highlight all entries.
  • Right click any entry and there should be a context menu entry to remove the entry (which will then apply to everything being selected).
