Star Citizen, man, it's a beast of a game. And sometimes, you gotta take it off.
Why Uninstall Star Citizen?
(Seriously, sometimes it just gets frustrating! I've been there)
Important Considerations Before Starting

- Is it REALLY time to get rid of the game? (Are you totally done with exploring the space lanes?)
- Read carefully! Don't accidentally erase stuff you need!
Uninstalling: The Practical Steps
Uninstalling Star Citizen isn't that tricky, really. It just needs a few clear steps.
Finding the Uninstaller
(Locate it. You might find a handy little icon or file in the software installation directory of Star Citizen or on the software list)
- Look for the Star Citizen uninstall file, likely named something with "Uninstall."
- Click on the uninstaller to start the removal process. (Sometimes you have to search the menus for this file)
Navigating the Uninstaller Wizard
Most uninstaller wizards guide you along these easy-peasy steps:
- Confirm you want to delete files.
- The process should show the deleting files. Wait! (Don't do anything until it finishes).
- The message "Successfully uninstalled" usually tells you it's good to go.

Possible Issues and Troubleshooting
Uninstallation isn't always smooth sailing.
Issues You Might Encounter
- Errors during uninstallation
- Unfinished downloads
- Game data remaining
- Space required might still be present in the directory. (Not gone even after uninstalling! Look into that directory.)
Solutions to Problems
- Check Disk Errors: Using tools like CHKDSK, errors that can sometimes interfere. (Run your operating system's system utility and run scan).
- Scan for malware: This checks to see if the game files got mixed up with malware!
- Run uninstallation tools again: Be sure there isn't something interfering with your process! Sometimes more than one round of uninstallation might be the deal!
- Verify system file: Checking your system for compatibility errors in the program that may keep files or program lingering (Windows Update usually cleans these up automatically, but for older or less used computers, double check in Windows update in settings).
- Restart the PC: Yeah, a basic but often overlooked troubleshooting tip.
