I was playing Trial on PC, got gifted a code from steam.. Now I'm steam locked???

Is there a way to fix this?? I've had nothing but problems using steam in the past. I was playing the demo - got gifted a code for the expansion. I didnt even know it was through steam. Then earlier today I went to preorder the new expansion and it wouldn't let me... I had to contact support to get my order refunded through Square Enix. Is there a way to remove steam from my account? Like I said it was gifted, I definitely would NOT have chosen to get it from steam if I knew.. I keep having problems with steam and I dont use it personally. :/ I've spent money on the mog station on this account and have leveled my characters up pretty high... I'm so disappointed...
