Step 1: Uninstalling the Game

The first step in removing a game from your PC is to uninstall it. Follow these simple steps:

  • Open the Start menu by clicking on the Windows icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
  • Click on “Settings” (the gear icon) to open the Windows Settings menu.
  • In the Settings menu, click on “Apps” to open the Apps & features section.
  • A list of installed apps and games will appear. Locate the game you want to remove and click on it.
  • Click on the “Uninstall” button that appears. A confirmation prompt may appear; click “Uninstall” again to confirm.
  • Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the uninstallation process.

Step 2: Deleting Leftover Files

Even after uninstalling a game, there might still be leftover files on your PC that you’ll want to remove. To do this:

  • Open the File Explorer by right-clicking on the Start menu icon and selecting “File Explorer” from the menu.
  • In File Explorer, navigate to the following directory: C:\Program Files
  • Look for a folder with the same name as the game you uninstalled. Right-click on it and select “Delete” from the menu.
  • If a confirmation prompt appears, click “Yes” to confirm the deletion.
  • Additionally, navigate to the following directory: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local
  • Look for any folders related to the game you uninstalled. Right-click on them and select “Delete.”
  • Confirm the deletion if prompted.

Step 3: Clearing Registry Entries (optional)

This step is optional, but if you want to ensure complete removal of the game, you can clear any related registry entries. Note: Modifying the Windows registry can be risky, so it’s important to proceed with caution. If you’re uncomfortable with this step, consider skipping it or seek expert advice if needed.

  • Open the Start menu and search for “regedit.” Click on the “Registry Editor” result to open it.
  • In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
  • Look for a folder with the same name as the game you uninstalled. Right-click on it and select “Delete.”
  • Navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
  • Once again, look for any folder related to the game you uninstalled and delete them.
  • Make sure to review and confirm deletion prompts if they appear.
  • Close the Registry Editor when you have finished deleting the appropriate entries.

Step 4: Restart Your PC

Finally, restart your PC to ensure all changes take effect. Once your computer restarts, the game should be completely removed from your system.

Congratulations! You have successfully removed a game from your PC. Now you can enjoy the extra storage space and install new games without any worries. Happy gaming!
