Cannot remove games from My Games on the Xbox Console Companion

If you wish to remove/uninstall games, and you have so many it's hard to find, then do the following:

Open the start menu and type "settings".

In the settings, go to "Apps". In the Apps settings, is a search field. Wait for your PC to have indexed your apps and games, and then type the game name you wish to remove.

Your PC will now show you the game (and maybe other games with the same name, for example if you type "METRO" and you have all Metro games installed, it'll show Metro Exodus, Metro 2033, Metro Last Light). Choose the game you wish to remove/uninstall, and
let your PC uninstall the game.

Sometimes it can take some time for a game to be removed from the list. Give it some time, they may eventually be removed. But bear in mind, they will come back once you have played the games again.

I am trying to remove the shortcuts to my Steam games from My Games on the Xbox Console Companion on PC but when I click the "Remove from my games" button nothing happens and the game stays on My Games

Why should it take so long?

We/I'm simply trying to remove a game from the list.

I've actually added Visual Studio 2019 because I wanted to record something, and now I'm unable to remove it from the games list.

I've waited for a couple of minutes and Visual studio wasn't removed from the list. It seems to me that the "Remove" button doesn't do anything.
