Windows Version(Not Steam): Installer Only Allows Uninstall

[Votraftur]

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

From the description provided, it appears that the game files may have only been deleted on your system and not uninstalled. At this time, we would recommend either searching for those files in your file explorer and/or simply uninstalling the game fully and then reinstalling them. In general, we recommend installing the game files on the default C: drive to prevent possible issues.

Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!

I am also going through my drives for any references to "ffxiv" and "Final Fantasy" and deleting them.

That was already attempted in my initial post
