    Default How do I uninstall games with no uninstallation function ?

    As title says. From the Start menu, no uninstall option.

    Using the control panel feature to try and uninstall program, cannot detect program too.

    Thanks.

    If there isn't anyway to uninstall you can do a system restore to a point where you didn't have the game installed or delete every file that has to do with that game. Though that still won't fully uninstall it.

    that will not work... yes the folder does dissapear but most of the files from that folder will be stored on your HD... by doing an unproper uninstalling of a game it CAN and WILL slow your computers performance down....

    Find the folder and just slap it in the recycle bin, if there IS a folder..

    that doesnt do the trick.... you should never do that to any programme or game.... only to files such as pictures movies... anything that needs an installing onto your HD will not be properly delete through this method and will cause HD damage
