NonSteamLaunchers Plugin Keeps Adding Storefronts Even After Deletion
Hey, so I downloaded the NonSteamLaunchers Decky plugin and, after uninstalling it, the storefronts I added, which I've tried to remove, keep showing up after reboots or mode changes. How do I fully remove them?
I've tried removing them via Game Mode and via Desktop Mode, even deleting what I thought were the folders, but they keep appearing. The trouble clients are itch.io, HoYoPlay, and GOG.

After trying to remove NSL from my device, certain storefronts keep...
I tried uninstalling NSL but GOG, HoYoPlay, and itch.io keep returning as shortcuts. I've tried deleting those shortcuts' source folders but they still return.

And it's still a problem. What could I be missing...?
Maybe if I try finding the target folder and deleting that...?
Nope, those folders don't even exist anymore. How do these keep coming back?
seems like they have installer outside decky, try asking the maintainer of nonsteamlauncher
I'm guessing NonSteamLaunchers really messed with
shortcuts.vdf
check that file to see if any of those launchers are written in there
also check the ~/homebrew folder to see if anything lingers from DeckyWhere is that?
That one, I already cleaned, luckily, unless there's another folder with that same name somewhere.
...never mind, found via KFind.
I deleted it and they came back.
can you post more details about the shortcuts that recur?
screenshots of the properties and all that
Since they also show up on my main PC, sure, lemme grab those.
Now I’m really wondering what it’s doing to add entries because for example Steam ROM Manager, Heroic and Lutris can add entries, but those aren’t synced across devices
Maybe delete them from both deck and pc at the same time
do they show up only when both devices are on at the same time?
Nope. I delete a shortcut and a notification appears about it being added by NSL, to be applied on restarting Steam.
I guess I can try?
Got a reply on Git. I'll try reinstalling NSL and using Wipe Clean.
...that was it.
