Hi all!

I bought a DLC for a game that I own almost a month ago. After buying it I changed my mind, refunded that DLC and bought another more expensive DLC. I'm only just getting around to reinstalling and playing the game again, and I now see that I have access to the DLC *that I refunded*. I can use the offline installer for that DLC from "Extras" and I can see all the DLC content in-game.

I mean, I love the freedom to use my game content how I want, reduced DRM all that, but I think it's fair for me to, you know, not have access to the DLC I refunded. I've had it happen before that sometimes refunded games take a couple days to leave my library. If it was a full game I'd just "hide" it and wait for it to go away on it's own, but I can't hide a DLC.

So the content is tied into my copy of the game and on the honor system I'd like to get rid of it. If I want to play the DLC in the future I'll pay for it again fair and square, since I got my refund.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the account refresh? It's typically recommended when purchased games don't show up, maybe it'll work for refunded games that won't go away?
I was recently in a similar situation, and like Pseudoman said, refreshing the account helped.
Visit those two links, and then check your library again:

Thank you both. I tried the account refresh, and logged out of GOG Galaxy, and then the DLC no longer showed up in my owned DLC. I do, however, still have the DLC listed in my offline backup installers. I don't know if I can fix that.

Now I'm running into broken download issues where the game *hates* trying to download. It keeps losing connection to the GOG servers partway through, and then failing every attempt to "Retry". I don't know if that's related.
