I can't uninstall BFV

[TeaSniffer42]

When I try to uninstall Battlefield 5 on ea, it doesn't work. I tried looking it up on youtube but nothing worked. The game doesn't appear in my installed apps or on RevoUninstaller. I have also looked trough the files but I can't find the uninstaller there either.

@TeaSniffer42,

Yes, you can try doing it like that but I'm not sure if everything will be deleted. This could also result in having issues when trying to install the game once again sometime in the future on the same hard drive.

Hello @TeaSniffer42,

Follow the below steps to uninstall a game from the EA app on PC.

1. Open the EA app and log in.
2. Choose the game you want to uninstall.
3. Select Manage.
4. Choose Uninstall from the dropdown.
5. If prompted, select Yes to confirm that you want to uninstall the game.

You can also try uninstalling the game over the Control Panel --> Uninstall a program --> Select BFV with right click and select uninstall.

Best regards,

As stated previously, I am unable to uninstall the game via the regular method. The game doesn't appear in the control panel either. Here is a screenshot for evidence:

@TeaSniffer42,

Have you checked the installation folder of Battlefield V? Are there any files located there? Can you take a picture of the mentioned folder?

@TeaSniffer42,

It's quite odd that you can't uninstall an installed game. Perhaps it's related to user permissions. Have you attempted launching the EA App as an Administrator to see if that resolves the issue? You can do this by right-clicking on the EA app icon and selecting "Run as Administrator" from the menu that appears. 

You could also try installing "Revo Uninstaller" the free version for trying to remove the game. I use it often when having issues with "phantom" programs.

@TeaSniffer42,

Honestly, I'm running out of ideas, that always does the job for me. I looked trough some Microsoft forum post on the issue.

I will post a link below so you can read the guide. Keep me informed if it does anything.

Is it a good or a bad idea to delete the files like this?
