I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Uninstall the game in the normal way, like any other software.
Then it depends on the type of game you are laying, is that a Microsoft Store Game, a Steam Game or a 3d party game.
With many games your user data and saves would be store online on your account.
If you are playing a Microsoft Store game, open File Explorer, then on the top menu, select View - Show Hidden Items
Navigate to this folder (Replace YOUR USER with your user name)
“C:\Users\ YOUR USER \AppData\Local\Packages
If your game data is stored locally, you will find a folder for the game in there, which yo can delete.

If you want a more in-depth uninstall, you should use a third-party uninstaller, like the free (or paid) version of Revo Uninstaller, which in my view is safer than poking around inside Windows on your own. Plus, if things don't go well, Revo Uninstaller (like other third-party uninstallers) has an 'un-do' feature.
In general: A well designed uninstaller will be conservative, and leave behind parts of the application that don't actually do anything, but are located in parts of Windows that you would rather not stick your fingers into. That's where a third-party uninstaller can help: it has the ability to safely remove the leftovers. It may not get rid of every last drop, but it will usually remove more of the application than than the application's own uninstaller will remove.
