Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will not uninstall, clogging up my boot drive.

Question

Mass Effect, Legendary Edition. I tried uninstalling the game via Windows, but there's still 110 GB of it left on my hard drive (boot). I had installed it under Origins, but your company deleted that software and made me install the EA app. The EA app doesn't have ME:LE listed as being downloaded, and before you tell me to reinstall it: there's not enough space on my hard drive to do so! If I install it on another drive, we both know that it will not fix the problem on the original. I've also already tried App Recovery in the app: no love there, either.

I would rather not format my boot drive, thanks.

If you already uninstalled under Windows just delete the game folder.
Should be under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games" &gt; Delete the "Mass Effect Legendary Edition" folder.

I tried that already; it didn't work.

How does it not work?
Do you get a error or access denied message?

Can you provide a screenshot of your "Mass Effect Legendary Edition" folder?

Sorry, can't provide a screenshot: the folder's deleted, but the file's still there in Add/Remove Programs and can't be deleted.
