Warface is a popular free-to-play online first person shooter game published by My.com. If you no longer play Warface or want to free up some storage space, uninstalling the game from your Windows PC is simple. This guide will walk you through the complete uninstall process to remove all Warface files and components.

Overview of Uninstalling Warface

There are a few reasons you may want to uninstall Warface:

• You no longer play and want to save hard drive space
• You are having game performance or technical issues
• You want to take a break from the game or reinstall it later

Before uninstalling, consider backing up any Warface game data you want to save or unlinking connected accounts. We’ll also cover how to delete any leftover folders and files after uninstalling through the control panel.

Step 1: Close Warface and Game Launchers

The first step is to properly close Warface and any game launchers:

• If Warface is currently running, exit out of the game completely
• Close the My.com launcher or any other platform used to launch Warface
• This ensures the game files can be fully removed during the uninstall process

Not closing Warface first can sometimes cause issues or failed uninstall attempts.

Step 2: Uninstall Through Windows Control Panel

The main uninstall process will utilize the Windows Control Panel:

1. Click on Start Menu and open Control Panel
2. Select “Uninstall a Program” under Programs section
3. Locate Warface in list of installed programs
4. Right click on Warface and select Uninstall
5. When prompt appears, confirm the uninstall by clicking Yes or OK

This will initiate the official game uninstall process. Allow some time for it to fully remove all related game files and components.

Step 3: Restart Your Computer

Once the Control Panel shows Warface has been uninstalled, restart your Windows PC:

• Click Start then Power button
• Select Restart to reboot your computer
• Restarting ensures any Warface processes have been stopped

This step is important to finalize the removal of Warface.

Step 4: Delete Any Remaining Warface Files

Even after using the Control Panel to uninstall Warface, some files may remain on your PC:

• Old configuration files
• Log files
• Residual folders

You need to manually delete these leftover files.

Here are some common Warface file locations to check on your primary storage drive:

• C:/Program Files (x86)/Warface
• C:/Users/YOURNAME/Documents/Warface
• C:/My Games/Warface

Carefully delete any Warface folders, configs, or files. This cleans up your PC fully after uninstall.

Step 5: Use Third-Party Uninstallers (Optional)

Third-party uninstall tools like IOBit Uninstaller Scout can also help remove leftover tracers of Warface. These tools scan your Windows registry and drives for any remnants after standard uninstall process.

Review the results and you can choose to delete any leftover Warface files detected. This helps ensure complete removal.

Step 6: Verify Warface Has Been Uninstalled

To confirm you have successfully uninstalled Warface:

• Check Programs list in Control Panel again
• Verify no Warface remaining files or folders
• Run Task Manager to check for any Warface processes still running
• If all checks out, Warface has been removed!

If you still see traces of Warface, you may need to restart your computer again or manually delete the specific files.

Reinstalling Warface

If you decide you want to play Warface again later, you can simply redownload the game from My.com or your preferred gaming platform. Your stats or progress will not be saved however unless you backed up that data prior.

Now you can free up your storage space or troubleshoot issues knowing Warface has been completely removed from your Windows PC!
