UPDATE - Work around:
After opening C:\Program Files\, I manually deleted the Electronic Arts folder (only the EA Desktop folder was in it). I had to also manually close EA Desktop background services from Task Manager to allow the folder to delete. Once removed, I was able to re-run the Add/Remove Programs uninstaller for EA Desktop, which now completed successfully and removed itself from the list of installed programs.
@PyroDrake1134 This worked perfectly for me (windows 10). The EA app was refusing to uninstall normally since you can't uninstall an app while it is running, and EA is always running in the background. It keeps running in the background even if you close the window. You have to use the task manager to force the app to stop running in the background. This was really damn annoying - the stupid app runs and slows down your computer so much and you can't even uninstall the damn thing. EA has a special knack for testing my patience.
