Troubles and errors while uninstalling Genshin Impact

Just like how there are many ways of installing the game, there are also several ways how you can uninstall Genshin Impact on your PC. There are a number of programs that you can use to remove the program, but that would also mean installing another program just to remove the game.

Ideally, uninstalling the game would do the trick. However, there will be some reasons why you would like to explore other options, like a string of files lurking in a folder that was not removed during the process or other programs that may prevent you from completely uninstalling the game.

While there are third-party applications that can assist you in making sure that all files and folders of the program are deleted from the PC or device, we discourage using them unless you trust both the source of the program and the application itself. There are multiple websites and support sites of Microsoft that you can go through if you continue to encounter issues with the removal of the program. The support site also offers a program you can download to assist you in troubleshooting the problem that you can get directly from the Microsoft website. After downloading the program, you will be asked to go through prompts that will lead you to the program.
