Unable to uninstall destiny 2 from computer

[shawnjiao1]

Hello I have a game in my computer taking up around 83 GB of storage and I want to get rid of it the only problem is that the game file is no where to be found in my files. I know it’s still in my computer tho because when I check my storage it says it’s still there, but if I try to click uninstall it will bring me to the Battle.net launcher and give me an error they don’t even know what it is. The game is destiny 2

there is a free utility called WinDirStat. Run it and it will show you a graphical map, find the big files with ease, all color coded too.

also a utility called Everything, can find files if you know the name or parts of the name using wildcards. check them out.

Have you tried un-installing it from the control panel? (un-install/change programs)

Some Windows 10 apps(primarily just items from the Microsoft store) do not show up in 'Programs and Features'.

Instead, you'll have to go into "PC Settings", then click on "Apps & Features". It should then show up in there. Once you click on the app/game icon, then select "Uninstall".

You could always try Revo Uninstaller: https://www.revouninstaller.com/

That will scan your entire drive(including registry) for anything related to that app/game and allow you to manually remove anything associated with it.

You will have to download the 'trial version'. The free version only allows you to remove 32-bit applications.

Do you know the name of the file or part of the name at least?

I dont really know becuase i cant find it at all

Clean windows reinstall will fix it for sure.

This is one of the many reasons I don’t game on PCs because when their installers fail because they’re stupid than your windows get screwed up. This doesn’t happen on consoles

Destiny 2 will be inside the blizzard folder, for me it looks like that,it's not one file it's a normal folder that you could just delete.
Blizzard_Activision\Destiny 2

The correct way,so you don't get garbage left in your system,is to update/repair the blizzard launcher then repair the game then unistall it from within the launcher.
