@chimpeater06 Try using Revo Uninstaller to remove it:
- Quit the desktop, then right-click on the Task Bar and open the Task Manager. Scroll through looking for any related entries. If you find any, click on them and End Task.
- Clear the app's cache.
- Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
- Launch Revo, select the desktop app from the list, and click Uninstall.
- When it finishes uninstalling, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
- If Revo finds any remaining registry entries, select all, delete, and click Next.
- Revo will display "Remaining Data and Folders." Make sure there aren't any game-related folders on the list, e.g. EA Games. Select the rest, and delete.
- Close Revo, and restart your computer.
If you want to reinstall the desktop app, download a fresh copy:

Tried this and it still left the entire EA folder and desktop app. This freaking app is literally worse than a virus or pesky antivirus app when trying to uninstall/remove it.
- @puzzlezaddict This Sort of worked for me so I appreciate your post, I was having this issue with wildhearts 3/15/2023, My issue specifically was that Wildhearts would not launch the EA app was giving me error 500 when I tried to open it.
Fix I did - ran revo uninstaller free edition, the EA uninstaller failed so I closed the EA app, I proceeded to still scan with revo and delete anything that came up. I attempted to reinstall EA and the installer said that I already had it installed but gave me the option to repair the EA app. I repaired the app and relogged in, my issue was fixed.
Thanks again puzzlezaddict
