Invisible workshop items
Hey Steam Community!

I come here for help, I have a little annoying problem. In my workshop I have 4 items listed but only two of them appear (two wallpapers I made for wallpaper engine). But here is my problem: I cannot delete the other two. So I have contacted steam support but they can't do anything because it seems that I have uploaded them under the SpaceWar AppID in a way that steam doesn't support so I don't know what to do. If anyone could help me that would be a pleasure cause I can't even remember what I did when I was younger to have those two invisible items.

hey! i'm currently having the same issue. looking at your profile, it seems that you've found a way to delete them, since you only have 2 workshop items from wallpaper engine atm. would really appreciate it if you could help me out on how i can do the same, as apart from this forum post i can't find anyone that has had the same issue as me.

Sorry I can't give any solution because I didn't seek one for myself, the workshops items isn't public so only myself see that I got 4 of them but for you I got 2. I've tried to contact the steam support, but they told me that the way that I used to do this isn't in the terms and conditions of steam and so they cannot remove it. So maybe try to contact them, you may be luckier than me otherwise I think you're won't be able to do much better than me and just act like they never exist. I don't understand how it's possible that they aren't showed and even after 2 years, I have 0 clues as to how to delete it, sorry.

Try via browser, sometimes uploading long wokshops etc (for profile customisation) makes it not render on client so seeing with browser might help. If not browser then are you maybe able to put them on a workshop showcase? this could help to open up the popup window and delete it

i managed to find the exact tutorial that i used to create these items, and i think i now understand why we have this issue:

when we created the workshop items, we tricked the steam upload form by pasting this into the browser console:

$J('[name=consumer_app_id]').val(480); $J('[name=file_type]').val(0); $J('[name=visibility]').val(0);

this forced the upload form to use app_id 480 (spacewar) for our workshop items. steam accepted the upload because it doesn’t check if the game has a valid workshop during creation.

the real issue is that spacewar doesn’t have a workshop at all. if you try to visit its workshop page, steam instantly redirects you to the homepage because the backend knows that app_id 480 has no workshop.

the page where you normally manage or delete your workshop items always requires a valid game workshop. steam checks if the app has a workshop before it shows your items. since app_id 480 doesn't have one, steam refuses to display those items anywhere.

this is why you can create the items, and why you can select them in your profile workshop showcase (because the showcase ui doesn’t filter by app_id), but you can’t manage or delete them, because the ui for that filters by app_id, and app_id 480 has no workshop.

this basically means that as long as the page for managing workshop items filters by app_id, we won't be able to delete these items.

i'll try to contact steam support, but they would have to manually mess with the database entries for these workshop items, which is something they probably wouldn't do in this case.

still appreciate the help though! this forum post is the first result you find when googling for this issue, so maybe someone else with the same issue won't have to waste as much time on this as i did lol.
