Today was the day I realized that my copy of MASS EFFECT: LEGENDARY EDITION was still taking up space on my boot drive. I haven’t played it in a while, I didn’t get that far to begin with, so I figured I’d just uninstall it and put it on the D drive. …It’s still there. All 110 gigs of it. My computer will still boot up fine, and I have plenty of space available on the D drive, but I don’t know how to clear out that valuable boot drive space. And EA is not being helpful. I know, I know: shocking.
Thoughts? I’m not formatting the drive, by the way. Cure worse than the disease.
NOT a computer expert but
Two things I’ve had success with
1) Re-Boot into safe mode to be able to delete stubborn files
or
2) rename stubborn files before deleting.
I can’t even find the stubborn files in question.
Steam helpfully has a “take me to the program directory” link that is straightforward to find. I don’t know if EA has something similar in their launcher. Try googling “[program] standard install path” and check whatever path it gives you. You could check how much data is in any save directory it left behind, but 110 GB is rather large. Did you empty the recycle bin?
