    It's something that I noticed as well while testing some things @revanmj, when uninstalling a game and then reinstalling it I have to clear the cache before I can download the game again. 

    I'll be sure to pass on your feedback.

Hi @revanmj,

This can be fixed by clearing the cache of EA Desktop.

To do so, simply tap the Windows key on your keyboard and go to EA > App Recovery > Clear cache. 

After that they should disappear.

    That is more like a workaround (it worked) as in final version user shouldn't need to manually clear cache after each game uninstallation.
