The default folder the game installs to is under C:\Games\FreeSpace2.

If you delete that folder, you've got nothing left but shortcuts and registry entries.

DONT DELETE THE FOLDER!!

You gotta uninstall the game FIRST, THEN delete the folder! If you delete the folder, the program is still techincally on your computer, except its missing the program to run. Its like pulling up a plant from the stem instead of the roots: the file (leaves) are gone, but its damn hard to get the root (program) out of the ground (system).

Forget the question. Lets get to the real point. Why are you deleting FS2 in the first place?
