It has happened a couple of times already with the same game: "Half-Life". It's not even in my library lol. image How can I make it disappear manually? For example editing some file.

In your SteamApps folder are *.acf files. You can open them with a simple text editor. One of these files should contain the "Half-Life" as the application name. Probably the file is called appmanifest_70.acf. If the game is not installed, you can try deleting this file. Or maybe first sharing it here, that I can have a look into it

Deleting the file worked. Thanks. appmanifest_70.zip

Graet! The stateflags field of the file you sent me says 70. Which is exactly the ID of Half-Life. This could be coincidence, but maybe Steam had a bug and wrote the app id into the stateflags for some reason. I didn't see this value for the stateFlags before. But thanks for reporting and sending the file. If this happens again, this might become very helpful.
