Hi,
I have NEVER installed Steam via Gnome Software on my notebook, in fact I never installed it ever, but on Gnome Software it is marked as "Installed".
Any way I can remove it from there ? That is mark it as "not installed" ?
When I click on "Remove" it says "no packages to remove" but it has "Launch" and "Remove" options enabled. "Launch", does nothing.
Are there any command-line/debugging/troubleshooting options that I should know about for Gnome Software Centre ? Seems like I haven't seen the last of such annoying bugs.
Thanks.

Gnome Software uses PackageKit, so you could start with the command-line tool "pkgcon":
pkcon get-packages|grep ^Inst
would list "Installed" packages. And, of course, you are free to investigate further with "rpm".

Well, pkcon does not report any installed Steam packages.
Steam Packages are listed as "Available" :
$ pkcon get-packages | grep -i steam Available bitlbee-steam-1.4.2-8.fc32.x86_64 (fedora) Available pidgin-libsteam-1.7-2.fc32.noarch (fedora) Available purple-libsteam-1.7-2.fc32.x86_64 (fedora) Available steam-1.0.0.62-3.fc32.i686 (rpmfusion-nonfree-updates) Available steam-1.0.0.62-1.fc32.i686 (rpmfusion-nonfree)
Nothing related to Steam is installed.
Any way to re-configure or reinstall the Gnome Software frontend ?

More than likely when you installed Steam it was installed via flatpak.
What do you get from the command line when you issue the
flatpak list --app

This is what I get when I run:
$ flatpak list --app
Name Application ID Version Branch Origin Installation Sublime Text …m.sublimetext.three 3.2.2 stable flathub system GNU Image Manipulatio… org.gimp.GIMP 2.10.18 stable fedora system
No Steam listed :-(

Interesting....
I don't know if this will work. But how about trying
dnf mark remove steam
Failing that....
rpmdb --rebuilddb
