How to uninstall?

KaMaji · 11-02-2011, 01:15 PM

Hi, I would like to uninstall Shadowgrounds but 2 problems occur.

When I use Steam's 'Delete Local Content...' option it says:

"Cannot delete Shadowgrounds, since its data is used by the following games: Shadowgrounds Editor"

Shadowgrounds Editor is not in my library so I can't remove that first, and when I tried deleting the files then removing it from Steam I got the same error.

When I try uninstalling from the unins000.exe in the Shadowgrounds directory it says that the program has been uninstalled but all that actually happens is the unins000.exe file disappears and I have to restore it using Steam's Validate files tool.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Kam

Check the Tools pull-down menu tab option in the Library, Shadowgrounds Editor is probably there and you can uninstall it.

Sorry this is late responding - I forgot about the problem for a while.

This worked perfectly! Cheers!
