I get these empty messages from a person called [unassigned] with no steam profile and I can't seem to remove the notification from steam. Is there any way to delete these?

    Accounts that are marked with [Unassigned] are stolen and used by scammers. Don't accept them.

    There is an option to stop people not on your friends list from sending you messages. I use that to stop any spam.

I have had this myself before. It only cleared after completely re-installing steam. Harsh reality but atleast it keeps games stored.

Perhaps do this?

EDIT:

Please make sure Steamapps folder is backed up!
