How can I properly uninstall the game?
|
Somehow I accidentally installed the game twice and now I'm looking for a way to remove the extra copy.
Windows, being windows, doesn't show both of the games in the "Add or remove programs menu" and, sure enough, it doesn't want to show the copy I want to remove (the one that was hidden in my Program Files folder). On the other hand the game itself still has no uninstaller in its own folder... So how is one supposed to properly remove an extra copy of the game?

Not really. Read up here, if you are not familiar with the reasons why is that a bad thing to do: https://www.quora.com/Are-uninstalling-software-and-deleting-the-program-files-manually-the-same-If-not-whats-the-difference

uninstal the game via the windows uninstaller then delete the folders if they are still there, both the one in the program files and the one in the user/my documents/my games.

tl;dr use the Windows uninstall (should safely remove all POE registry entries), restart, delete anything that's left (POE folders), empty trash, restart, new install - once.
Steam or Standalone client? I guess Standalone. Is there not an uninstall.exe in each folder ("/Path Of Exile" and "/Path of Exile (2)")? I don't use Standalone client myself. So don't actually know if there is an uninstall.exe in the folder. And if you use Windows uninstall option and restart, is there still a copy left (folder, icon, My Documents/My Games/Path of Exile)? If yes. Then just delete it, empty trash, restart. Install new. Once. If you use the Windows uninstall or POE own uninstall in POE folder, it should safely remove all POE registry entries.

Windows uninstall worked for only one of the copies.
Also let me refer to you to this exact same url I linked a month ago: https://www.quora.com/Are-uninstalling-software-and-deleting-the-program-files-manually-the-same-If-not-whats-the-difference |
