Everything gets boring someday - even your favorite virtual entertainment can suddenly become boring. To avoid clogging HDD unnecessary files and applications that you no longer intend to use, you need to know how to remove the game from your computer.
Removal using standard Windows tools
If you know how to uninstall a program on Windows 8, then you can easily cope with the first stage of cleaning the system from the game.
If you want to uninstall a game because it's not working correctly, check other system settings first.
For example, try removing ditectx - often its incorrect installation affects the operation of multimedia and graphics applications.
An alternative way is to use the uninstall.exe file, which can be found in the game directory. 
In any case, after such deletion, in the “My Documents” folder there remains a directory in which the game process files are located - created profiles, saved progress, etc. They can be erased manually by sending them to the trash and then completely deleting them from the system.
Treat the system registry with extreme care. Erase only those entries that relate to the program you are deleting.
Third party software
If you don't feel like cleaning out folders and system registry manually, leave this matter to special utilities. For example, Revo Uninstaller - free program, which allows you to completely remove any program from your computer. 
Do not erase the folder with the installed application itself from system disk, as is done when deleting Denver. Otherwise, the game will indeed stop launching, but traces of its presence will remain in the system and over time will begin to negatively affect the performance of the computer.
If the game does not appear in the list of installed ones, activate “Hunting Mode”. When you click on the corresponding button in top menu A crosshair appears, which you need to point at the game icon on the desktop or in the directory where the application's executive files are stored.
When you hover over the program icon, a menu should appear in which you need to select the “Uninstall” item.
This completes cleaning the system from traces of the game. Uninstall programs correctly, and then your computer will work longer and faster.

Sometimes, video games can be frustrating and sometimes they just take up too much space on your computer. What do we do in this case? That's right, we delete them. However, sometimes this is not so easy to do, which may be due to certain factors: you are still an inexperienced user, the classic removal options are not available/do not work, etc.
In this article we will tell you how to remove a game from your computer, quickly and without straining your nerves. In addition to the basics, we will also look at removing the game from digital distribution stores, for example, Steam or Origin.
Method No. 1 Removal using an uninstaller
So, first, let's look at the most basic and classic method of removing an installed game, and other software, based on the operating system Windows systems(examples will be given) - uninstaller.
Usually, when you install a game on your computer, a so-called uninstaller is also installed along with it, which makes it incredibly easy to completely remove the game if the user needs it.
The uninstaller is usually stored in the folder with the installed game. Go to the folder and find the executable file called unstall.exe or something similar. Double-click on it to start the removal process. Confirm your intentions if the uninstaller asks you for confirmation to delete. Finally, wait for the uninstallation process to complete and close the uninstallation window if necessary.
That's all. It is also advisable to delete files of deleted games, which sometimes remain in the folders of their previous location. This method of removing a game from a computer is the simplest and only requires the user to know the location of the game folder. However, not all games are equipped with an uninstaller and they need to be uninstalled a little differently.
Method No. 2 Programs and components (applications and features)
The next way to remove a game is to use a system item such as “Programs and Features”, with which, as expected from its name, you can remove or update installed applications and games.
Right-click on Start and select “Programs and Features” from the context menu. Then find the desired (but apparently not very) game in the list of installed components, right-click on it and select “Uninstall”. Confirm your intentions to delete and you're done.
Users operating system Windows 10 can take advantage of something else, which we'll look at now. Again, right-click and select Apps & Features. Find the game you want in the list of applications. Click on it once and then click on the “Delete” button. Windows 10 also has Programs and Features, which is easily accessible, but it's not really necessary.
Method No. 3 Removing games in digital distribution stores
How to delete game data on Steam or Origin? Let's look into this too. The thing is that games installed in similar services do not have classic uninstallers: they must be removed directly through the client itself, which, however, will not be difficult. As an example, let's look at deleting a game on Steam, but you'll be able to apply the following information to other digital distributor clients like Origin, Uplay or GOG as well, since they're all done the same way.
So, open your Steam client. Next, go to the “Library” tab, where all your games are located. Find the game you want to get rid of, right-click on it and select "Uninstall...". Then confirm your intentions again by clicking on the “Delete” button again. After clicking on it, the removal process will start, after which the game will be erased from your disk and tab installed games in library.
Method No. 3 Removing problematic games
Now we are moving on to something more complex. How to delete a deleted game? If you are seeing this question for the first time, it may seem quite strange to you, but it is not at all. Let's say you've already tried to uninstall the game from your computer, but something went wrong during the uninstallation process, such as a power outage, the uninstallation process being forced to complete, etc. As a result, entries from the deleted game remain in your system's Registry, which may cause some problems when trying to remove the game from the entries in "Applications and Features" or "Programs and Features."
If you encounter such a problem, then you need to delete the remaining entries about the game in Windows Registry. You can do this using these steps:
- Press combination Windows+R.
- Enter Regedit and press Enter.
- Using the left panel of the window, go to the section HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE.
- Find the name of your game (or developer/publisher) in the list of sections.
- Right-click on it and select "Delete".
Once you have completed all the above, try again to uninstall the game using traditional methods - this time everything should work as expected.
Method #4 Using third-party utilities
If you do not want to use the tools built into the operating system, then you can always use a third-party software. The functionality of such tools differs from each other, ranging from easy removal installed programs/games and ending with clearing temporary and junk files on the computer.
It is quite difficult to advise any specific program, since, in principle, their functionality is still similar to each other. For example, you can use the Uninstall Tool. Users are more or less satisfied with its functionality.

Many newcomers to computer science often have a question: how to properly remove programs from a computer? And this question is correct.
After all, if you remove programs, properly called uninstallation, in the wrong way, then the computer may become clogged with waste. I’ll tell you about which ones at the end of the article. And now, I’ll tell you about three correct ways to remove programs and games, one of them should be used.
Remove using uninst.exe
Every program or game contains this file – uninst.exe, this is a file for deleting something. Sometimes it may be called unins000.exe, sometimes a little differently, but almost everywhere the first three letters are uni . It can be found this way Start -> Computer -> Disk C (system drive) -> Program Files -> Folder with the program -> uninst.exe. True, sometimes, very rarely, it happens that it is hidden in some other folder, but finding it will not be difficult, and maybe it will be, because sometimes it is located in very unusual places :). The picture below shows what it all roughly looks like.
After you double-click on this file, you will either immediately be prompted uninstall the program(may be in English), or a clarification window will pop up, as shown below, and you will now need to decide exactly what to do.
Uninstall via the control panel.
Another method of “demolition” is through the “Programs and Features” item in windows 7, and in windows xp “Add or Remove Programs”. It's all located along this path Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features.
After double-clicking on it, the following window will open.
In the image above you might have seen “Delete/Change”. This means that this program has a crash recovery function, or you can install any additional components into it. If it simply says “Delete,” then you can only carry out the uninstallation process.
To be honest, this item in the Control Panel is simply looking for the uninst.exe file. The whole point and convenience is that this process is automated here. As I said, the uninstallation file is not always easy to find, but using the “Programs and Features” item, Windows itself searches for this file.
Uninstallation using third-party programs.
Yes, yes, the process of “deleting” something from your PC can be done using third-party utilities. For example, using CCleaner. Open it, go to the “Service” tab, left-click once on what you want to “demolish” and click “Uninstall”, and then the process is identical to what I described above. I explained how to use this utility in a video tutorial.
One wrong way
There is another way, it is not entirely correct, it would be more accurate to say not at all correct, but sometimes it’s impossible without him.
It happens that when uninstalling, the error “The file uninstall.exe was not found” or something similar pops up. It happens that some other error appears and the whole problem is that it is not possible to destroy the program using any of the three methods suggested above! After all, all those methods are based on the fact that the uninstall.exe file is first looked for and then deleted using it. But what if for some reason it’s not there?!
You'll have to do everything manually. Go to the folder Program Files Click on the folder with the name of this program once with the left mouse button and press Delete (or Del) on the keyboard. And then you wait, if the program is heavy, it can take a very long time to uninstall; I once waited half an hour.
We performed a “dirty” uninstallation. At the beginning of the article I said that I would tell you why it is not right to do this, so now I will explain.
Almost every one, during installation, enters the entries necessary for its operation into the registry and into various databases windows data and also to other programs to which it is related. So, by deleting the “dirty” method, we only get rid of the program files, and all entries remain in Windows. Over time, the computer becomes clogged and this begins to affect its performance - speed, performance, etc.
That is why after “dirty” removals it is necessary to immediately clean up drive C and registry. Well, I, again, told you how to do this in this lesson - so there shouldn’t be any problems.
I tried to explain everything as simply as possible. I hope it worked.
Hello dear readers, before this I wrote several articles and, but now I would like to talk about how to remove games from Windows computer 7, 8, 10. The difference is that garbage cleaning programs clean files that the system does not need, but games are considered personal files, so the program does not touch them. This is partly the correct way to remove programs. Therefore, this article will be useful from a beginner to an experienced user.
How to properly delete a game?
Firstly, correct removal is always done through programs that come with the game for removal. 
This program is usually located in the game folder; to find it, go to start — all programs and find folder with the game name.
When you open it, in most cases you will see a file with the name - delete the game or uninstall, or maybe in English Uninstall. Click it and click everywhere else and you're done. All game Right deleted.
But below we will look which could remain even if you deleted the game the right way! It is possible that you did not find the required file in the start, to find it, right-click on the game and select properties.
In the window that opens, click find object or file location. After which the folder with the game will open and there we look for the file that I described above, launch it and delete it using the same system. 
It is possible that these files were not even found in the game folder, so you will have to turn to the standard application uninstaller. This is certainly not the most the best option, because There will still be some files in the system and registry.
Below we will look specialized program provided for such cases. But sometimes it may not be available, so now we’ll look at how to remove a game using the Windows add/remove programs component. It is located in my computer or launcher.
Start - Control Panel or in startup on older systems there may be an item settings. Or on my computer at the top or left is an item called Installation and removal of programms.
Upon startup, a window will appear with installed programs and games on your system. In this list find the game to be deleted, select and click delete/edit.
Usually removal occurs by standard system button press Further, and then delete, but it may also be that you need to select the item delete. Cases vary and not all programs are able to remove everything. Because The game save is also your personal files. Or, by chance, something was not deleted.
And in order to delete the game completely, you need to see if the folder with the game remains in my documents it is usually set to desktop or at launch. An even more reliable way to find files is through search. Enter the name of the game in one word and specify the search in hidden folders. We delete everything that is found as necessary or save the save, in case you want to play this game again :)
Completely uninstalling a game using Revo Uninstaller
Windows Add/Remove Programs is not the best or most reliable application for uninstalling applications. There is always a replacement and I suggest using the replacement professional program entitled Revo Uninstaller. When you open it it will look like this window.
For removing select the required game or program, the method is also good for programs. Select by right-clicking on the required game or program.
will appear window with a removal method.
1. Safe the program will remove basically everything like a regular Windows program.
3. And here is the point extended will find and delete everything possible that is associated with this file, but first it will give you the opportunity to confirm what it is deleting; this item is best used by advanced users. This point especially helped me when the drivers for one printer and the program were installed incorrectly windows installation and uninstalling programs did not help me. Good luck with your deletions :)
Any version of the Windows operating system has several standard games. They weigh little, do not affect the operation of the system, but sometimes distract users from performing useful tasks. To prevent this from happening, it is better to remove them. We will now look at how to remove standard games.
So, you installed Windows 7 and decided to remove all unnecessary programs and applications from the system. A good place to start is with the various built-in entertainment features in Windows that kill time and don't provide any benefit.
Open Control Panel. Set the View option to Large Icons. Find the Programs and Features section and expand it. 
Find the “Turn on/off components” item in the menu on the left and go to it. Wait for the list to form.
Find the “Games” section among the components – it will be marked with a checkmark.
You can remove all games from the system at once by unchecking the corresponding item, or disable only individual applications.
You need to act in a similar way in earlier Windows versions. For example, in XP you need to go through the “Control Panel” to the “Add or Remove Programs” section, where you select “Install Windows Components”. 
Next, find the sub-item “ Standard programs" and select the "Games" section. Enabling/disabling individual components is done by checking/unchecking the box and saving the changes.
Complete removal
If you know exactly what the idea is to restore Windows games 7 will never come to you, you can remove them from the system completely. To do this, you need to use the registry editor, which is called by the “regedit” command entered through the “Run” menu. 
Launch Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\Games. 
You will see several subfolders, each of which is responsible for launching a specific gaming application.
Catalogs have alphanumeric names, so it is difficult to understand their purpose at first glance. If you want to get rid of all entertainment applications, simply erase all existing directories - right-click and select "Delete".
To see which folder is responsible for which application, expand the directory and look at the value of the “ConfigApplicationPath” parameter. Here at the end of the address is the name of the game. 
In this way, you can completely remove the game from your computer without the possibility of restoring it using standard using Windows.
