Failure to properly uninstall a game is usually due to incorrect reading or absence of the "install.log" file, which is generated during the installation of the game and contains information about how and where it was installed. It is he who is required in order to start the reverse process (uninstallation). If the file was damaged, you will have to delete the game "manually".
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, it's best to delete the game by the rules. To do this, you need to run the "Uninstall" file in the folder with the game itself or use the capabilities of the installed system. In the second case, enter the control panel through the Start menu, select the Add or Remove Programs section, wait until the list of programs installed on the computer is formed, select your game and click the Remove button.
Step 2
To place the folder with the game in the trash on your own, find it on one of the computer disks, select it and press the "Delete" key, confirm the operation with the "Enter" key. The same can be done using the mouse: move the cursor to the folder, open the drop-down menu with the right mouse button, select the “Delete” command by clicking on it with any mouse button. Confirm the action.
Step 3
Too "heavy" games do not fit into the basket. To permanently delete them, use the Shift and Delete keys combination. If one or more of the components cannot be removed in normal mode, restart your computer in safe mode. To do this, while the system boots, press and hold the "F8" key for a few seconds, then select the "Safe Mod" item.
Step 4
Some games install different components in different directories. For example, the "Save" folder may be located in a different location than the game itself. To locate the various components, use the search option by the full name of the game or by capital letters of its name (depending on how the game "called itself" during installation). To do this, call the "Search" command through the "Start" menu. Delete the components found in this way.
Step 5
The information about the game remains in the registry. To remove them, use the "Start" menu to call the "Run" command. In the field, type without quotes and spaces "regedit", start the registry editor. In the top menu bar, open the search function ("Edit" - "Find") and enter the name of the game in the field. Delete the items related to the game (the "Delete" key or the "Delete" command in the drop-down menu invoked by the right mouse button). To go to the next found item, use the "Find Next" option or press the "F3" key. Close the registry editor by clicking the "X" button in the upper right corner of the window.
