Can I reinstall a game that I have deleted without redownloading it?

[FunnyGamer432]

Recently I deleted a game on Origin that I didn't want to delete.

Just wanted to know if there's a way to get it back without redownloading it again because my internet is slow and it will probably take two or four days.

Hey @FunnyGamer432 if you have uninstalled the game then sorry to say that he only way to reinstall it would be to download it again.

Hey @FunnyGamer432 

If the game files got deleted from your PC and you didn't make any copy of the files (players very rarely do it anyway, myself included), I'm afraid downloading the game again via Origin client is the only option to get it back on your device

If in future you wish to free up space but not have to redoawnload the game then  you can move games to another harddrive @FunnyGamer432. 

1. Copy your Origin Game Library folder to wherever you want it.
   • The default location is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\”
2. Set the Origin Game Library Location to the new location.
   • In Origin open up Settings
   • Select the “Installs & Saves” tab.
   • Under “Game library location” select “Change folder…”
   • Locate the new folder.
3. Start a download for each game you’ve moved.
   • In Origin open up “My Game Library”
   • Find each game you’ve moved.
   • Press “Download”
   • Origin will skip downloading any files that are already there and update any that need to be updated.
4. When Origin is done updating each game it will be ready to play.
