If you've paid for the game why would you want to get rid of it? As for the swimming and diving will have to admit that there was allot but it didn't bother me at all. Getting ready to play through on New Game +

*a* *lot*. Two words. "Allot" means to share, distribute, allocate.

GOG Galaxy: WItcher 3 > More > Manage > Uninstall
WIthout Galaxy: Control Panel > Programs and functions > Witcher 3 > Uninstall

Uninstalling means removing it from your computer, not from your GOG account. Nobody is taking your disc either.

How people can not know such basic things? Are we again in the 80s? *User calling helpdesk to know where the "any" key is.* lol

Well to be fair, The Witcher 3 doesn't always appear in your installed programs list via Control Panel :) It's not there on my machine, for instance, so the only way I can uninstall it is via Galaxy. Not everyone is familiar with Galaxy ;)

It isn't? It's there on my machine, including the seperate options for DLC and expansion. In Windows 7 that is.

Yes it does, if you install it correctly.

Sometimes you need to do an OS downgrade/upgrade, and Witcher 3 may be installed on your secondary drive, like me. So it was installed correctly, however when the OS was changed, it no longer shows in Control Panel. Maybe I'm a one off, but I doubt it.

If that is the case, then you should have qualified your remark as such. Changing OS with software installed is not a good idea, anyway. The sensible (read 'correct') course is always to back up data, uninstall, change OS, re-install.

My bad :) I know it's not the wisest move, but I only have GOG games, Steam games, and a couple MMO's installed, and GOG I know I can uninstall via Galaxy, Steam I just have to run once to get the correct registry entries, and MMO's I've learned you just run the installer and it puts the correct registry entries in.

For some reason The Witcher 3 didn't do that, and never has in all the OS switching I've done, but all my other GOG games do.

I'll try to remember to be more specific when I try to contribute to tech support threads.
