There might be an uninstall program in the game's directory... It usually looks like a trash bin and is usually called "uninstall.exe," "uninst.exe" or "unwise.exe."

find the folder, delete all the files, it'll be something like C:/program Files/*game company* or C:/Program Files/*game*

Ryzom's trial dl is 7gigs.

Anyways, do what they suggested, I'd rather search for the 'uninstall.exe' which it will usually have in the programs menu under the game folder

If there isn't one, you can simply delete the folders.

Thats a whole lotta Gb to slow down a normal computer.

Hurry up and delete the folder before it permenently affects ur whole computer.

Yeah, do that and he'll need to look extensively through Hex files to roperly unmount the program from the system, lol. (I probably didn't say that right)

Directly deleteing programs is not recomended. You'll leave behind a vast amount of info related to the game that is locate in the system files. You'll need to look for the uninstall in the main directory and only use the "delete all" option as a last result.
