[PC] PvZ Error Writing User File

@claraathiessen Following up on this to see if you were able to get the game working. Which PvZ game are you trying to play?

@EA_Shepard Hello, sadly no, I haven't been that lucky unfortunatly. I still can't play the game. The PvZ game that I am trying to get to work is the original one I think: PvZ Game of the Year Edition.

@claraathiessen Do you get any other errors other than the one you attached?

@EA_Shepard No, the one I attached pops up every time after playing one level, which means I can't get past a level because it doesn't save after the error pops up.

@claraathiessen So you are able to log in and play but then after playing a match you get that error?

Do you get that error when you first launch the game?

@EA_Shepard Yes, since I've had the game for years I am already logged in, but yes I get to play one match (the same match every time I launch) but when the match is over it just instantly pops up with that error.

@claraathiessen See if these steps help.

Please clear your temp files:

• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time
• Into the new window, type or copy & paste: "%temp%" (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER"
• Now your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it.
• (If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

Then:

• Make sure the EA app is closed.
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%\Electronic Arts\EA Services" (without the quotes) into the new Window > ENTER
• Delete all files.

@EA_Shepard This shows up everytime i try to delete (attached file): it says "the file is open in EA" however EA isn't open, and it also says some of the other times "open in chrome browser" or "microsoft edge" or "the file dosn't exist" - I can't delete these files, even though the only thing i have open is my files holder because i close everything down and I*''ve tried like 10 times now, and restartet my pc. what should I do?

@claraathiessen So what you have to do is close every open program you can down by where the clock is on your PC. Open tasks manager and make sure the EA app is not running at all either.

Any files it doesn't allow you to delete just skip. Some need admin permissions, some are using background programs so it is okay if you cannot delete them.

I get this error when trying to load the game. I have tried many solutions online and I have tried installing to different locations, drives, reinstalling, repairing. I need my data to be deleted but it is saved on the EA cloud and I cannot remove it
