    Hi Bryle

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    You seem to be using TreeSize or some other utility to view those files, are you not able to right click and delete those game folders from there?

    2

    or if you go into the Epic Games Launcher, can you change the install folder location to another folder, then try to delete those game folders?

    3

    Another option would be to use the free version of Revo Uninstaller to see if that can find those games and remove them for you.

    Hi Bryle

    Rest assured, deleting a game folder will not affect the Windows Registry, you do not need to worry about that.
