How to uninstall Epic Games Launcher from Windows

The world of gaming is widespread above all on Windows computers, so let’s start this tutorial on how to uninstall Epic Games Launcher from the famous Microsoft platform.

The first step you need to take to uninstall Epic Games Launcher from a Windows PC is to access the classic menu for uninstalling programs. If you are using Windows 10 , then click on the Start button (the flag icon located in the lower left corner of the screen) and access the system settings by clicking on the gear icon located on the left side of the menu that opens.

On the next screen, go to Apps , select Epic Games Launcher and hit the Uninstall button twice in a row. Next, hit Yes and wait for the system to delete Epic Games Launcher from your computer. You may be prompted to close the program and press the Retry button , in case the Epic Games Launcher is open.

If you are using an older version of Windows, you can uninstall Epic Games Launcher by clicking on the Start button (the flag icon located in the lower left corner of the screen), looking for the Control Panel in the menu that opens and selecting the first result research.

In the window that opens, go to Programs> Programs and Features> Uninstall or change a program , select Epic Games Launcher and press the Uninstall item , located at the top. Then follow the instructions I gave you just now for Windows 10: the steps to take are the same.

Perfect, you have now successfully uninstalled Epic Games Launcher from your computer. Don’t worry if the uninstaller did not provide any message: the important thing is that the Epic Games Launcher no longer appears among the installed programs.

In case of doubts or problems

In some cases, problems may occur during the normal Epic Games Launcher uninstallation process. For this reason, I recommend trying to implement some precautions.

First, Epic Games Launcher must not have any active processes in order to be uninstalled. To check this from Windows , press the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Del and select the Task Manager item from the screen that opens.

At this point, a window will appear on the screen that will show all the processes active on the computer: look for those related to Epic Games Launcher , press the right mouse button on them and select the item End task from the menu that is proposed to you.

If, on the other hand, you’re using macOS , you can use the Activity Monitor utility to accomplish the same thing. To proceed, first open the Launchpad (the rocket icon on the Dock bar), access the Other folder and click on the Activity Monitor icon (the one depicting the green path on the monitor).

In the main window of the tool, you can view the complete list of processes that are currently running on your computer: locate those related to Epic Games Launcher (if you can’t find them “by eye”, use the search field at the top right ), select them by clicking on them, and then press the octagon-shaped button with an “x” drawn above. Finally, press the blue Exit button or the Force Quit button and you’re done. For more information, I invite you to consult my guide on how to terminate a process .

By doing this, you will have successfully closed the Epic Games Launcher and the uninstall should be successful. However, residual files may remain inside your computer. On Windows , you can usually find the latter in the path C: \ Users [username] \ AppData \ Local \ EpicGamesLauncher , while on macOS the residual files can usually be found in the folders ~ / Library / Application Support , ~ / Library / Caches , ~ / Library / Preferences , ~ / Library / Logs and ~ / Library / Cookies .

Once these files are found and deleted, Epic Games Launcher should be completely uninstalled from your computer. For more information, I suggest you consult my tutorial on how to uninstall a program completely , in which I also recommended some utilities that allow you to uninstall software in an advanced way.

In case you are unable to remove Epic Games Launcher, even by following the instructions above, I recommend that you contact the Epic Games support center . To take advantage of this service, you must connect to the official Epic Games support site , write a brief description of the problem you encountered in the appropriate text field (eg “uninstalling Epic Games Launcher” ), read and put into practice the instructions that appear on the screen.

In case you need the help of an operator, click on the CONTACT US button and fill in the form that is proposed to you with Language (language), Name (optional), E-mail address, Product Title (product) and Operating System (operating system). Then, select the item “Technical / performance problems” , type a brief description of the problem you encountered in the box below and enter the security text .

Finally, press the SEND item to send your request to the Epic Games experts, who will contact you as soon as possible by email.
