Yeah, I have a few. Here are the ones with no/almost no redeeming qualities:

Almost Heroes: it wants to be Alien Swarm but was kinda dead on arrival and I never found any games online. Sucks solo. I got it for like 50 cents on sale... I paid too much.

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage: I got this as a free gift somewhere and never meant to unpack the thing so I could put it in a giveaway (steam lagged and opened it when I was trying to unpack something else). I hate racing games, so I'll never install it.

Freedom Force: escort mission killed the hell out of it. Fuck, I hate escort missions.

Hammerfight: The second mission consistently bugs and will not complete for me. Dev response: "Uh, we dunno. Too bad?"

Rock of Ages: This wasn't even fun for 10 minutes. I don't know what I was thinking.

Solar 2 and Osmos: These aren't even games. You fly/swim around and run into stuff. Sometimes in Solar 2 you fly AROUND stuff. The end.

Starbound: ./spit

I am ashamed of nothing. Nothing, do you hear me?

Well, ok, maybe I'm a little ashamed with how easily I fall for sales. Why did I buy all of the Unreal games? When am I ever going to even touch these things?

[Cthulhu]

I already had a trash folder but I mostly use it for betas, mods I can't remove from the list, and other things I'm never going to use that clutter up my list.

There's something unpleasant about officially declaring something I bought to be a waste of money, even if I know intuitively that it was.

A lot of games from the old humble bundles would fit the bill.  If not a waste of money a waste of space certainly.  Pretentious little sidescrolling games that make no sense and just annoy me when I see their names, like And Yet It Moves.  Stuff from back before Hundle Bumble was a big deal and it was mostly just shitty little indie games nobody cared about.

Out of 96 steam games, some have been disappointing. Some others have still to be installed and are likely to go untouched forever.
But a single title stands out as a perennial mark of shame in my library:

Cabela's Trophy Bucks

I'm not going to elaborate. Let's just say I tried to permanently delete it from my account.

[itisnotlogical]

When I get around to using Steam here's some ones I'll hide:

Hacker Evolution Duality: Somebody got me this for Christmas once. I feel bad for never playing it, but it is really not my type of game. In fact, as far from it as can be.

Audiosurf: Not a bad game, but I am sick of it. It was the only game I had on Steam for something close to three months, and the appeal doesn't last long. Some fate for the game that convinced me to get Steam.

Star Wars Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight: Bought it in a craze for classic shooters, then was utterly tired of it before I got halfway through. I think Mission 2 is longer than many full-sized games. And the lack of music makes it very lonely and creepy as well.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast: Beat it once, no reason to look back really.

Sven Co-op: I just wanted to play Half Life's campaign cooperatively, but all the servers are for modded games with accounts and forums and clans and experience and I just wanted to shoot aliens okay

Combat Arms: Since it's free it might just disappear from my list when I uninstall it, but I keep getting tempted to play and realizing it's terrible all over again.

DOTA 2: I had some pretty bad experiences with League of Legends and getting actual IRL mad over a bloody video game, so I'm kind of soured to MOBAs. Also, it never installed properly and has been perpetually updating ever since.

[Evilsx]

I got one that I hate enough to put it away then into the section I call 'The bin'

Garry's Mod:Just... fuck the community in this, almost everyone that play this is an jackass with a microphone and it just a pain to play with

[Chevaleresse]

A bad game is still bad regardless of how many people made it.

Not quite true; a bad game is even worse if there was a large dev team behind it. (I'm looking at you, EA.)

[alexandertnt]

DayZ: In the rare moment something interesting actually happenes, it can be quite entertaining. Otherwise I spent 95% of my time walking. I felt like I just wasted my time and money on this. Not going to waste more time on this hoping something interesting happens.

Booster Trooper: Not actually all that bad of a game, but me and a friend bought it for the sole purpose of playing multiplayer and never got it working.

Borderlands: *long yawn*

ORION: Dino Horde: I bought it for a dollar for the sole purpose of being able to run around as a dinosaur and eat people. Unfortunetely, this game is fucking terrable and not even a whole bunch of player controled dino's could kill one friggin' guy. I suppose I got a dollar's worth of entertainment out of it, but it's still an absolutely awful game.

Hacker Evolution Duality: Somebody got me this for Christmas once. I feel bad for never playing it, but it is really not my type of game. In fact, as far from it as can be.

Don't feel bad. IIRC, the Hacker Evolution series of games was basically made to take advantage of the people who liked Uplink - but then, I've never played either, so this is all third-hand.

[Ant]

Oh yes. I've got this bad habit of buying sales games if I get hyped enough. Lessee.

7 days to die: Survival horror minecraft... Yeah. Just too centered on zed respawning where you ain't looking. Might get better although I'm not holding my breath. Compares badly to Unturned.

Inside a star-filled sky: Was fun for a while, but endless repetition is endless.

Might & Magic VI: doesn't even work, ffs.

Far cry 3: Fun FPS, but ultimately more boring than FC2.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare: I just can't remember why I bought this... In hindsight there's nothing in this worth paying for.

ARMA 2: Actually it's great game, although lacking polish, but bought it just for DayZ mod- some 3 months before DayZ standalone was announced on steam.

Starbound: I've been torn between this being one of most catastrophic failures in judgement or a good investment. It has been and -despite some odd design choices via updates- still is somewhat nice game. Most of the time though I fire up the ol' Terraria instead.

War Thunder: Lucky me that it's free, the tanks are just... Not quite what I anticipated. Plane modes were disappointment since Sturmovik. Still, WT might improve and so it hogs a chunk of my HD.

X3 series: I've loved spess fighter games since Wing Commander. The X3:s just too huge! Never clocked more than couple of hours tops in each.

[Shadowlord]

I thought War Thunder was pretty good (it was just planes at the time), but I quit forever because their idea of an update mechanism was a denial-of-service attack - it knocked me offline whenever it tried to patch with any significantly sized download. Apparently they didn't figure there was any way using bittorrent could possibly go wrong - or they didn't care.

[Culise]

Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2 Multiplayer are the only two games on my list right now.  I don't hate them; I just don't play that sort of game (multiplayer FPS...or most single-player FPS, for that matter) very often.  I only picked them up because they were free.

[Ant]

Well, WT ain't bad per se. Arcade is fun in very small doses; no touch at all with planes going on skates or rails, respecting no mass or power of plane, and cannon spam. The HB mode improves things but ultimately I'd still take Sturmo anyday. Bad connections with repeating discos, the update that made grind even more an issue and unbalanced tier arrangements were pretty much what killed my mood.

All in all, I'm just one old geezer who just can't accept the compromises made in WT so much that I'd enjoy the game fully. More modes and/or some tweaks on flight model encompassing current ones might make me return. And really, CtB with planes? They'd do good on removing FPS-style missions altogether.

[Cthulhu]

Ugh god yeah, the ctb modes are terrible since you have to land.  It's like capture the flag if in order to cap the flag you had to stick it up your ass and dance around for thirty seconds while the enemy shoots at you.

I kind of agree in general.  Even in HB there's a lot of issues which I've whined about enough already, and the tier system is a complete mess.  Terrible American and Russian players (mainly American) screwing up BRs and making things even worse for Germany and Japan.  I'd really hate to play Japan but Germany has lots of problems too.  My Fw 190 fought Bearcats.

Il-2 though, I didn't like the choice of setting much.  I know it's a Russian game, but I didn't like the Eastern front much, or Pacific really.  I wanted to do Mustangs over Berlin or 109s vs Spitfires and such.

FEZ: A platformer with a really cool selling point that proceeded to barely use it and instead make most of its content puzzles based around a terrible cipher language that is only used to give instructions to the player and nothing more. I can only wonder what Fez 2 could have been had Phil Fish not cancelled it.

Yeah, Fez would have been a really cool game if I wouldn't have to alt-tab away every level to look at a translation.
