Really listen closely, what is this nonsense?

Just wanted to remove the game manager and put it back in place. It seems all my Ubisoft titles are gone:! You really don’t realize how upset you can be after downloading 42 GB at a speed of 120 KB per second.

Remove any app and it will erase all its data, including the games stored in the programs folder. This isn't due to Ubisoft's actions since such behavior occurs regularly.

Perhaps if UPlay and Origin try again, my games will be back where they belong after the Windows issue.

It depends on what you mean by "delete." Removing your Steam client might remove your account and saved games from the server, but not necessarily all of your personal files unless they're backed up elsewhere.

Steam, Origin doesn't provide any additional details here.

It's unlikely all drives are affected—likely only the primary drive—but removing the Steam client may clear games from the Steam folder.

Always make a backup of your games before removing them. That’s simple common sense.

It seems confusing why removing a program from one location would affect another. The installation files might be linked or referenced across directories, causing unexpected behavior.
