How to Easily Uninstall & Delete EVE Online From Your PC

Through the Apps and Features Page on the Windows Operating System

Uninstalling EVE Online using the Apps and Features page on Windows is the easiest method to delete EVE Online from your PC. 

This method ensures a complete removal of the game without the need for third-party uninstallers or logging into gaming accounts. It effectively deletes EVE Online for all users, including the registry keys and all files from the Program Files and Windows system. When you reinstall EVE Online, you'll start with a clean installation.

1. Click on the Start menu (or press the Windows buttonon the keyboard).
2. Click on the gearwheel icon, which opens the Settings (Control Panel) window.
3. Select the Apps menu.
4. Use the search bar to locate EVE Online in the list of installed programs.
5. Click on the Uninstall button to completely remove the program.

Note that re-downloading the game might cost you a lot of internet transfer, as EVE Online's download size is pretty enormous, not going to lie. That said, really consider if it's even worth it; ISK prices will always go up, so don't rage-quit because of it; not a good reason, trust me.
