Option 2: Uninstall multiple games using Windows

You can also uninstall WildTangent games manually, using your computer's uninstall feature.

  1. Open the Windows Search function.
  2. Type uninstall a program into the search field.
  3. Select Uninstall a program from the search results.
  4. You'll see a list of all the programs installed on your computer. Look for WildTangent Games. It may also be listed as WildGames, HPGames, DellGames or something similar.
  5. Click Uninstall/Change at the top of the window. Depending on your version of Windows, this may say Change/Remove.
  6. You'll see a list of the games installed on your computer. Tick the game or games you want to uninstall.

    Important: Don't tick WildTangent Games App at the very top of the list. This removes the Games App itself, and any remaining games will stop working.

    Also avoid clicking ALL at the bottom of the window. This uninstalls every WildTangent game on your computer, including games you may want to keep.
