    Uninstall issue: Windows cannot find C: drive file


    Hi there,


    I am trying to uninstall/remove a game file from my PC, which is still reading it as installed despite having removed the file previously.

    I am under storage -> apps & features.


    When I try to select uninstall, an error message appears: Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\EAInstaller\Jedi Fallen Order\Cleanup.exe'.


    My PC is still registering the space as unavailable despite having already removed the game files from my C: drive.


    Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    Uninstall issue: Windows cannot find C: drive file

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Uninstall issue: Windows cannot find C: drive file ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
