Because my hard drive is almost full and therefore slowing down my laptop, I have to uninstall a very large number of BFG games.
I can only find a way to uninstall them one by one which is laborious and taking me forever. Is there no way I can uninstall multiple games at once from the Games Manager?
It seems to be easier and quicker from the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, but will this method also delete the games from my Games Manager??

Just a thought....can you highlight more than one..control and left mouse then go to next one and control left mouse... should be able to highlight multiple game titles then move them?

Sometimes a restart of system may help...

Now this is really weird - There was only 6 items in the Trash Can!! So maybe when you delete BFG games, they are deleted completely and not via the Trash Can??  Using Add/Remove Programs (or the uninstaller supplied with the game) will delete it. They are never sent to the Trash Can (at least none I've ever seen). You send items to the Trash Can by right clicking the item and deleting it (with Windows Explorer).

Sorry to confuse you, Inland, I was in fact referring to the games that I had deleted from the Games Manager that I could not see in the Trash Can, so they must also be deleted the same way.
