Re: Unable to Uninstall Apex Legends

Obviously the OP probably already solved this, but for anyone finding this thread later: I had basically the exact same problem, Update messed up and something went wrong, couldn't uninstall, couldn't install; basically the same as in the OP. What worked for me was instead of deleting r5apex (because something kept running it), I moved it to a different location on my hard drive using admin rights. I deleted everything else. Then via Origin launcher I reinstalled the game.
