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

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

    And by "EA Desktop is in Beta" you mean "EA Desktop is in ALPHA"...It doesn't even detect all installed games from the Origin folder. Beta typically means most features are there but there's a handful of bugs to work out. EA needs to take a step back seeing as release day games are betas and betas are alphas these days.

    I'm inventing a new superhero named D-EA-dpool. The catchphrase "minimum effort" lol.

  • I just finalized the download and removed the game the way I explained in my previous post.

    It also got removed from the game pass list

    It seems to work fine
