This probably would have been better in the tech support forum, but just go in through your control panel/programs and features and uninstall there.

Be careful when uninstalling - the uninstall deletes everything in the directory you installed the game to. If you've got other stuff in that spot, either move it first, or manually delete the ESO stuff.

lol, could have been but aint the case. Just gonna take a break for a month or two.
and for the scamps in thread, there was no uninstall option in controll/uninstal program place in windows, nor in any ESO directory.
It was however in the launcher, hidden in a really small section. Not easy to spot at all.
and thats about that.

Possibly, I hadn't heard one way or the other (and I haven't tried uninstalling just for the fun of it either).Be careful when uninstalling - the uninstall deletes everything in the directory you installed the game to. If you've got other stuff in that spot, either move it first, or manually delete the ESO stuff.
I thought that had been fixed?
(be nice to an 'official' answer to this specific point)

@mablung 2 second search shows quite a few games do this, WoW included. Its typical for the uninstaller to delete its own folder, if you have put the installer in a folder other than the typical install its always a good case to see if there is a custom unistall option on the game.

Lots of uninstallers delete everything in the program's directory. If you use the default directory that the installer suggests when you do the install, it shouldn't be an issue. If you don't, then you should make sure you don't have anything unrelated to the game in the same directory before you uninstall. That actually goes for every program you ever uninstall. Not all uninstallers do this, but enough do that you should always ensure there's nothing else in the program location before you uninstall.Be careful when uninstalling - the uninstall deletes everything in the directory you installed the game to.

OMG is this true? And people defend this game! This is crazy. I have never heard of a game deleting other files not related to it.

Easy on the veiled insult cool breeze. I have not ever heard of this happening in any game. Why would I perform a search when there is a topic here, right now, discussing it?
If it pains you to answer then why answer?

My understanding is that it is not only the program's own directory, but also the directory above it.
So, for example, if you installed the game in C:\Games\ESO, it will not only wipe out the ESO folder, but also everything in Games.
