    Cannot uninstall Minecraft


    I previously downloaded Minecraft onto an external hard drive connected to my Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10. I accidently deleted Minecraft from my hard disk but did not uninstall it from Control Panel. As a result, Minecraft is still in the Control Panel list of applications. When I try to uninstall or repair it, it says that 'Minecraft' is not a valid short file name and I cannot uninstall it. I have tried downloading MinecraftInstaller.msi and repairing it, but it doesn't work. I think the problem has something to do with file addresses but I'm not sure.


    If anyone could help me ASAP that would be great.

    :)

    It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    • Are you using Minecraft app downloaded from Store or Minecraft program?

    Also try to download and install the display and chipset drivers from the manufacturer website.
