@Ra1dMaX I got the same problem too, I was deleting FIFA 21 because I want to download it takes two, then I realized my games folder is gone. The entire folder including other games which have no correlation with FIFA or the EA app. Why does this even go through the QA test is beyond me

    i dont think  EA even test or stress test their program or code before they even launches anything, this happened when i uninstalled biomutant aswell(by that time i was glad i had put in schedueled daily backups of savegames and settings folders in my games folder and put all EA games in their own install directory just to be on the safe side so if one of their crap games did it again it would only uninstall the rest of the crap games)

    and after the dumpsterfire of BF2042 it is going to take alot of persuation for me to even buy a game from EA

      How did you uninstall the game?
