Can you tell me why C: Documents and Setings/users/Application Data has all of the games compaines and some files that I have played for two years?
I have always used ADD-Remove or BFG trash barrel to uninstall games that I have finshed.
Why does Windows Explorer keep them. Is it like cookies to help load faster? Can I delete them if I am done with the game. BFG will reinstall any game that is in my purchase history. Thanks

Some of those files you are seeing from Big Fish games have your save-game profiles; so, if you ever want to re-download a game and still have your saved games, that would be one reason not to delete some or all of them. If I don't care about saving my player profiles, I just get rid of those files. Boy, do they accumulate!

Some downloadable games may keep information about activation and saved games on your computer after you uninstall.


That's why some people use REVO uninstaller. Add/Remove Programs often does an imperfect job of uninstalling.

I was just looking at mine the other day and found most of those folders were empty, so I dumped them. If I reinstall the game, it can make a new folder.

Oops, just looked again, those empty ones were in Program Files.
