Those are the Proton versions I used in the past. As you can see the list is not consistent across runs.

[nning]

This looks tricky... as far as I can tell, the code currently does not detect correctly that no game for that versions is installed and/or that the compat tool version directory does not exist.

A few questions to debug:

1. Do you have games installed that use any of these versions? (protonutils list should list only installed games and may include games for some of these versions.)
2. Would you test with the -u and -c options, please? (You should also be able to use your Steam login name instead of the SteamID3 with -u. -c disables the cache, because it is possible, versions for the wrong user got cached.)
3. You're on Arch? Can you confirm that ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d exists and points to your runtimes dir?

(Now that I think of it, the problem seems to be connected to 2. quite probably.)

Thanks for reporting & helping to debug!

Would you retest (protonutils ge clean -u 82996121 -c) with the following binary and send the debug output, please: https://github.com/nning/protonutils/suites/4545964286/artifacts/121960903

Really delete? [y/N]

All Vast marojity of the games here are not currently installed on my system. It's nice they remember proton version I guess, but ge clean can't uninstall them anyway.

[nning]

I don't have a clue, yet, and added more debug output: https://github.com/nning/protonutils/suites/4618451336/artifacts/124921852

Would you please test again and attach debug.log to a comment?

DEBUG=1 protonutils ge clean &>debug.log

[L1Q]

debug.log

[nning]

I think I found the bug, thanks for reporting and helping to debug! (It was a logic error when collecting versions to delete that exist in compatibilitytools.d.)

Would you please test with a new binary containing the fix? https://github.com/nning/protonutils/suites/4626530846/artifacts/125248312

[L1Q]

It now says "No unused GE version found", however, I went ahead and downloaded older version of proton ge, restarted steam a couple times, but protonutils ge clean still reports no unused ge. Is this normal?

[nning]

It should show old unused versions for deletion. (A version should be recognized as unused if no installed game is configured to use it). If I run the following commands, it shows these versions ("foo" and 4.5 Beta 1) for deletion. Does this work for you simlilarily?

$ mkdir ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/foo
$ protonutils ge download 4.5-GE-Beta-1
$ protonutils ge clean
Unused versions found:
  * Proton-4.5-GE-Beta-1
  * foo

Really delete? [y/N] 

[nning]

OK, I just realized, the binary from the PR has the same problem for me :confused:

[nning]

I introduced a new problem by sloppily renaming variables. Should be fixed now: https://github.com/nning/protonutils/suites/4628022200/artifacts/125300210

Perfect, thanks for your help!
