No, this has (probably) nothing to do with your drive. This is likely a OS (Registry) problem.
The commands in my last post are not cheeking your drives but Windows system folders and files. 

Having trouble uninstalling Dragon Age 2? I totally get it, that game can be stubborn! Have you tried using a dedicated uninstaller program like Revo Uninstaller? It helps remove all traces of the program. Personally, I had success forcing an uninstall through the Control Panel after Revo identified lingering files. Has the animatronics on Five Nights At Freddy's been easier to deal with, than this?

why do that. You are seeming to say i may have a bad HDD or SSd, I regualary check all my drives for errors, as i have 6 drives, 3 SSD and three HDD, all are error free and defraged/optomised. I have and install / remove 20 to 30 games/programs every month easily, yet with DA1 and 2 they are literally the only games i have this problem with.

No, I asked whether, by 'manual', you meant installation via the Windows Control Panel, rather than deleting the game folders by hand.
But you answered that with your replay. 

1. Hit Windows key and X.
2. Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)", whichever option is offered.
3. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter: (You can copy and paste the following cursive text.) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Checkhealth
4. Press ENTER.
5. If errors are found, notify us. If no errors were found repeat steps 1 & 2.
6. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
7. Press ENTER.
8. The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here.
9. After it reaches 100% repeat steps 1 & 2.
10. Inside PowerShell, CMD or Terminal enter: sfc /scannow
11. Press ENTER.
12. Post the message you receive at the end of the processes here.

holger1405​  I know that, the problem is that it doesnt even show up in the windows control panel, or under installed apps and in the folder itself there is no uninstall listed (or in the bioware docs folder) and yet i can still play it from the install folder that will only go if i delete the whole DA2 folder. However if I reinstall it even on a completely different drive I still cannot uninstall it either by the EA app uninstallation link or trying to find it in installed apps list from windows CP  .  Same with DA:O. Only ones that show up in both winbdows and the app at all are DAI and DATVG as being available for uninstallation.

"Manually" means over the Windows control panel? 

yup i cannot get rid of this game at all, I have tried so many times and the darned thing keeps coming back, yes i have tried removing it in the functioning uninstall button in the EA app, i have tried manually removing it but nowt works. Please EA get your act together, never had this problem before over the decade plus i have had all the dragon age and Mass effect games. Make your launcher work!
