"Steam" added items that can run in the background

Question

I'm now on MacOS Ventura 13.1.

Recently, a pop-up window often appears on my pc.

"Background Items Added" "Steam" added items that can run in the background. You can manage this in Login Items Settings.

The first time when I saw this notification, I have turned off it in my "Login Items", and the second time I uninstalled my steam. But sometimes it still pops up. Then I have searched for completely remove steam from a mac. But it doesn't work, could you please help me with this problem? Thanks so much!

I do have the same issue @proboba. Have you managed to fix it or started another thread? It's beyond annoying getting dozens of those notifications constantly... — Wojtek, Dec 28 '22 at 12:37

Remove the steam .plist file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/.

Removing the .plist from /Users/your-username/Library/LaunchAgents worked for me. It was also suggested in your link. – invisible squirrel Jan 01 '23 at 19:42
