Removing MODs

Simple question. How do I remove a MOD game? There's no option in the Start
menu, 'Add/Remove Programs' or right-click.
Thanks!

Bad form to reply to one's own post but I just deleted the directory under
"C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods" and it disappeared from
the "Play Games" menu. is it *that* simple?

Just delete the folder and files within

You should have something like:
C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\SourceMods

You can eg find a folder called HL2Substance here, just delete it, and it
will disappear from the games list
Easy

Hehe! Thanks Peter

Funny you should mention HL2S as that's the one I just tried. It's okay but
I want something *different* to HL2; maybe a TC? Anyway, thanks again!

It's ok to add extra enemies and nicely done
But having the antlions appear early is imho an abuse and turns HL2 into a
Serious Sam trivial

Sure it is. When Steam starts up it scans what mods are available in the
SourceMods directory (it checks for a specific file in each subfolder,
"gameinfo" or something), and adds each entry to the Play Games menu.
When you delete a MOD, that entry no longer exists, so it doesn't appear
anymore in the menu when Steam runs next time.
