Removing large amounts of games causes memory exhaustion/crash
Originally working with the classic rom manager i was used to however with new emudeck i didn't realize i couldn't just save a certain console using the filtering options at the top of the preview which managed to add all 12k+ roms to steam. The issue is i'm now struggling to get these entries removed and clean up my steam library. And just use the parsers i need.

It freezes. I managed to add 6K+ ROMs to Steam Deck, but removing them using "(Remove) all added app entries and controllers" simply freezes the app and does not remove anything...
EDIT: As a workaround, I went to Linux Desktop on SteamDeck, opened Steam app, with mouse&keyboard I've selected all non-steam games (click on the top one, then while holding SHIFT click on the last one), then right click -> Manage -> Remove selected non-steam games from Steam. Steam itself allows to bulk-remove non-steam games. Great success, but wish Steam ROM Manager could do it.
I also manually removed them took quite awhile and steam crashed several times as well but at least my library is clean again
