Folder exists even though game was deleted?
So, I deleted CoD Modern Warfare, which was on drive C (SSD). I wanted to move it to the HDD. Halfway through the installation, I changed my mind. So I aborted the download. HDD = D. When I tried to download it back to the SSD, it kept saying "error." Getting curious, I looked in Explorer and saw that the CoD Modern Warfare folder was still there, even though I'd deleted it. After that, it worked.
Now I wanted to know if this happens with every game provider store and if that's a problem?

You should not delete programs, but uninstall them. But sometimes there are folders on the board. If you reinstall, you have all the settings etc. If you stop an installation, you sometimes have an undefined state if the installation program does not clean up after the termination.
I’m sorry to uninstall.
But will my Pc damage it?
Not your PC. But you see that you can easily create data waste, which eventually leads to problems. Windows is just an operating system that does not properly handle the uninstallation of programs.
Just uninstall again and don’t break.
This should be done.
It is quite normal that the folders are not deleted when uninstalling. For example, your settings or play levels etc. are often maintained.
This is actually not unusual for Windows.
Check the file size in the properties of the folder, often the installer leaves some files that are not very large. are stored there occasionally to Play stands or mouse / keyboard settings.
Once you uninstall the game, all larger game files should be gone, and the folder should only be a few megabytes large.
But is a very nice example of how to disguise your Windows permanently and why Windows is a cruel operating system in this respect.
A complete program is hardly possible for a layman. To do this, you would have to look for some keys in the registration that banged you in the game, and that does not matter.
Well, that doesn’t make Windows, but the programmers of the games.
Well, only that Windows THE ONLY operating system is what uses a central registration and not like any other triggers all over normal files.
I bet everyone who deals with operating systems will tell you that the central registration on Windows is complete nonsense.
But something like that.
Of course, it’s a problem if Windows isn’t able to uninstall programs completely because they can set themselves in program.
If every developer does it and every Windows computer is formally enveloped with it after a time, then you can very well blame Windows for something that works there.
If you’ve used n Linux then you’ll notice what a huge difference it does, there’s only one terminal command and your entire program is completely removed.
But what is expected of a system which is on its core of the ancient is always more features packed on it and partly system components dragged with themselves that are over 20 years old.
It doesn’t matter. What you’re complaining about is the programming that makes the game manufacturers. They decide whether to remove all keys from the registry or not. They decide whether folders remain or everything is deleted.
This has nothing to do with Windows.
