  1. Ghost programs left over from dead drive.


    So, I have my os and most important programs downloaded to my SSD, which would be my C drive. But, my spinner died D drive which had mostly games and junk on it. I've done some online research but I feel that this is a very specific and strange problem. So, when I go to apps and features, I can still see example Minecraft still installed on the D drive in there. When I attempt to delete or uninstall Minecraft, it says "Missing D Drive" or something similar. Because of this, it also blocks my ability for example to fresh install Minecraft on my C drive, because it already thinks it to be installed on D.

  2. Sniper Ghost Warrior

    Hi Gary,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Do you face the issue only with Sniper Ghost Warrior?
    We would suggest you to update the graphics drivers and check.

    Ghost programs left over from dead drive.

    cant't uninstall program because the Hard drive is dead

    recently one of my HDD ( drive H;\ ) gone dead, so i try to uninstall some of the program that was installed at drive H:\ so that i can install it again once i buy a new HDD, and this one, epic launcher, cannot be uninstalled, the error prompt is " Invalid
    drive H:\", so i try force remove it with register edit, delete the uninstall section, still came up at my listed program and still cannot be uninstall, try removing all of the Epic launcher register, but still came up at my listed program. any other solution?
    or do i really need to format my OS to remove this problem?
