- @VoidBeetle6397 Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you believe uninstalling a game via the EA app has removed all the files on your SSD, including those unrelated to the game. That sounds really frustrating.
However, the EA app does not have the capability to wipe an entire drive. Like other software on your computer, the EA app operates within the permissions set by the operating system, which typically restrict it to accessing only the files and directories necessary for its function—such as game files, user settings, and temporary data.
Wiping an entire drive would require administrative privileges and specific commands, which are beyond the scope of what the EA app is designed to do. If you're concerned about the security of your data or suspect something unusual is happening, I recommend reviewing the permissions granted to the app and making sure your system's security software is up to date. If this were a common issue, we would have seen many reports from other users experiencing the same problem.
