It’s okay to remove the files if you’re sure they’re not needed anymore.

I removed it, Steam confirmed it worked, but all files remained... Probably due to 3Dmigoto (mod) or the icon change I made. I should have reset it to default before uninstalling, but I didn’t think about that. Neither the revo uninstaller nor Windows apps detected it while files were still present. So it’s marked as uninstalled, yet I can just delete the files if needed. (That was the main goal of uninstalling.)
I also encountered issues with modified games and removed them by hand.
yeah, idk if that happened to me before (probably not) but now that i think about it, something must be wrong with that specific 3Dmigoto version, i see for other games it changes the name in nvcp to *"game name"-3dmigoto.exe* or something, but for Nioh it just changed it to *"game name"(exe)* honestly I don't understand the whole process of "uninstalling" it seems unnecessary as heck, it usually doesn't even remove the stuff from appdata or the registry, or the save files (thank goodness), so what does it even do then lol?
During uninstallation it starts the removal tool from the developer's side, which explains why remnants remain—it could be oversight or deliberate. Typically, the developer clears all game files and empties the folder, but if mods were added, the space stays occupied. Sometimes the process requires a restart for files still in use to disappear.
yeah, usually it leaves the mods inctact, which is generally good, i still always try to back them up before uninstalling. But in this case something obviously went wrong... probably because whatever 3Dmigoto did, not sure. Definitely something was up with this version... super confusing, like it made a "custom.ini" and only randomly after a few weeks... and that really tanked performance, in other games it doesn't do that afaik. i mean i get it, making mods isn't easy and mistakes happen - i guess, but its still unfortunate (plus from the info on github it sounded like thats on purpose, but that doesn't explain why it randomly did this after several weeks, seemed totally unnecessary, because all mods worked and performance was much better without "custom.ini") yeah, shouldn't have been in use though, haven't played it for some weeks. And ah, ok, i always thought windows keeps track of whatever happens during install so it can revert it when uninstalling... but if thats on the devs, well then thats less ideal!
