Genshin Impact: How to Uninstall the Game on PC

Sometimes, the best way to get games to work properly when there are errors — especially on PC — is to uninstall them completely, then reinstall them.

If you’re having trouble, here’s how to uninstall Genshin Impact on PC.

Genshin Impact has its own launcher on PC, so it can’t be uninstalled from some marketplace or other services unless it was downloaded from the Epic Games Store. In that case, simply open up your Library in the Epic Games Launcher, then click on the three dots next to the game’s name to find the uninstall option.

You can just head over to the official website to reinstall the game for free if you want to get it back. If you’d rather not completely uninstall the game, there are other options when facing issues.

How to Repair Genshin Impact

This will open up the Settings menu. Once inside, just scroll down until you find the Repair Now option. This will repair the game files and, hopefully, fix whatever issue you’re having without forcing a full uninstall.
