HI Guys,
The new ea desktop is missing the option to remove games from your computer from the launcher it self.

@EA_Illium I was refering about the ablility to remove the game completely from a system. I had downloaded ffxv from the eadesktop but once I had finished the game. I wished to remove it from my system but the launcher did not have the option to remove/uninstall the game under the management tab of the launcher. I had to remove/uninstall the game from origin. I mean you can unistall using the control panel but as origin has the option to unintall/remove game I assumed ea desktop would have it as well but it was missing the option. Just wanted to give my feedback regarding this option.
Thanks

Yep. I can't find a way to simply uninstall a game. How absolutely, incredibly stupid. Just....WOW.

Even if it was announced as Alpha having a launcher that can install games and not uninstall them is crazy stupid. That's step 1 of its purpose. That buying feature seems to be implemented though. Look at that big * blue purchase button while there's no uninstall in sight.

@xSweffxyou can still uninstall it from inside windows, as it says beta, don't cry over features that aren't there, encourage them to implement it instead.
EA Desktop also heavily depends on Origin so you can always uninstall the games thru Origin, at least the games installed and downloaded from Origin.
Not sure if EAD installed games could be removed from Origin.
Nonetheless, I do share your thought that it should exist and I'm sure of it that it will come in future releases.

So I made the mistake of linking my Xbox Gamepass to EA Play, it was super hidden and hard to do I guess for a reason. But now I downloaded Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) to see if the servers were up and they were not. Now I want to delete the game THAT I DOWNLOADED, and now I do not have permission to delete MY OWN GAMES. Is this a form of EA ransomware?

New name, new look, same great benefits: EA Access and Origin Access are now EA Play.
