How the hell do I uninstall games through EA Desktop app?

Title.

Why is this feature so hidden, if not outright missing?

  • Hello,

    I think I found a way to uninstall games from the EA app :

    I you go to the "Collection" (third option on the left of the start screen of the EA Desktop) you see the game you have played

    If you click on the option (3 dots button on the game picture) you will have an option to uninstall

    It only seems to be available if you have NOT uninstalled the game through the windows menu

    I just removed a game this way and it also got removed from the gamepass app

    I am currently redownloading a game i uninstalled with the windows menu (this didn't remove it for the xboss app)

    I hope that I will then be able to uninstall it completly

    Yea stupid how their new launcher lacks the most basic of function like an uninstall button, i used to rag on Epics launcher for not having a Cart but this is just hilarious. Even in the beta stage it should have this most basic of basic functions. 

  • This question was asked in 2020, it is now 2022 and there is STILL NO WAY TO UNINSTALL GAMES. I know EA is a despicable company that only cares about how much they can syphon out of their customers while simultaneously infuriating them with incompetency. I wanted to uninstall the ABYSMAL game they called 2042: Trash Compactor simulator(i got 1h into a 10h trial and gave up) but in order to do that I thought I needed to get into the "Beta" app they plagued society with. So I had to install more updates for the App while also learning that literally nowhere in the app is the ability to delete a game that is installed. In fact, if you have permissions to install the game from xbox gamepass and log in using your original account instead you are not even told that the game is in fact installed. 

    2 years... 2 years in "BETA" and still no options to uninstall a game from a useless gaming platform? Do you even know what a Beta is? you do know that you can't call something a Beta just because it has an E and A in the word. 

    When you rollout the next update, please update it to the current state of your incredulous incompetence and call it a "Pre-Alpha" like it is.

    I am happy to announce my computer is now EA free, finally free from the virus that is the EA app

    Sorry guys, but EA really cannot be held responsible for the inability to use a PC.

    It is almost self explainig how it works, but here we go again:

    "Go to the "Collection" (third option on the left of the start screen of the EA Desktop).

    If you click on the option (3 dots button on the game picture) you will have an option to uninstall."

  • This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with EA app, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
