    Default Trouble uninstalling

    I have no idea if this is to do with the uninstall application provided with the mod, but I don't think all of the modification has been properly uninstalled. There should be way more space on the F Drive after uninstalling. About 3-4GB more, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Unless, of course, it is there, but the computer has decided not to refresh the value properly. Any help on this is much appreciated, thank you.

    EDIT: Apparently, about 59.3GB is being used up on the drive, yet all the folders and their contents account for only 54.8GB at the most...so, what the heck? I'm beginning to wish I had just deleted the files rather than uninstalled them...

    Have no fear you still can do this.

    Proper way to uninstall everything is:
    Uninstall EB, documentation, RV and Trivial script.
    Why 4 ? Each of this component is totally separate from the other and thus has to be installed and uninstalled separately. Of course EB is like 99% of all space.

    There still will be few files left like saves and preferences.cfg file.
    If you want to get rid of everything just go to your RTW folder find EB folder and delete it.

    Cheers.

    Edited: btw EB takes only 2GB when installed so I dont know why do you expect to gain 3-4GB of free space by uninstalling it.

    I had to reinstall EB, because I changed resolution in-game (to something my computer can support), and it gave me the black screen of death, with a message bouncing around informing me of the optimum resolution (which it was, er, set at...). Altering the preferences.txt did nothing...so I had to reinstall (after uninstalling). I didn't install the extras, such as the script or recruitment viewer.

    Perhaps you confused the installer by installing twice; now it only knows about the second installation. You should still be able to just delete the thing from the hard drive.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I've run across something similar to this before - I figure the drive hasn't refreshed properly, or something. Sometimes, when deleting files, unless they've been removed from the recycle bin, they still seem to take up space on the drive they came from.

    I uninstalled the first installation and deleted the remaining files, as I did with the second. Probably just needs a good old refresh somehow (not the computer expert, do not intend on rebooting the computer at the moment after some of the problems it's had recently).
