How To Remove GTA 5 FitGirl Repack (2025)
If you’ve ever tried to get rid of GTA 5 FitGirl Repack, you probably noticed it’s not as simple as just hitting uninstall. Sometimes, leftovers stick around—leftover files, registry entries, random adapters—and then your disk space doesn’t get freed, or weird bugs pop up. So, this is trying to be a bit more thorough, especially if the normal uninstall route feels incomplete or skips over certain parts. There’s no magic button for a clean uninstall, but with these steps, you should be able to give your system a proper cleanup.
How to Fix GTA 5 Remaining After Uninstall
Access the Game’s Installation Location
This part is kind of beat-up because depending on how FitGirl repacked and installed, the folder location can vary. Usually, you’ll find the game in Program Files or a custom folder. Navigate there manually or use the shortcut:
- Right-click on the GTA V icon on the desktop, then choose Open file location. If that doesn’t work, check C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA V or the folder you picked during setup.
- If you used a custom path, it’s worth searching for GTA V or FitGirl via Windows Explorer search.
Method 1: Remove the Uninstaller and Game Files
This is the straightforward route, assuming the uninstaller wasn’t a built-in one but rather an executable inside the game directory or a shortcut.
- Inside the installation folder, look for an uninstaller — could be named unins000.exe or simply uninstall.exe.
- Double-click that file and confirm the prompts. On some setups, it might bypass the registry cleanup, so you need to do some manual cleanup later.
- If nothing appears, or it doesn’t run, plan B is deleting the folder manually, then moving on to registry cleanup.
Method 2: Use Windows Control Panel or Settings App
Sometimes, the game might be registered, especially if you installed via a setup like Steam or a launcher. Here’s the trick:
- Open Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
- Find GTA 5 or the game name if it shows up, then click Uninstall. This often triggers the standard removal process, but beware, FitGirl versions often don’t register properly, so whether this works depends.
Check for Leftover Files and Folders
After uninstalling, some files live on, especially if the game was heavily modified or repacked. Common spots include:
- C:\Users\[YourUser]\Documents\GTA V — sometimes save files hide here.
- C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86) — look for any folders with GTA or Rockstar names.
- Additionally, check inside C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Local and Roaming. Some leftover cache or config files might hang around.
If you find anything suspicious, delete it. But be careful — don’t delete stuff from your system folders unless you’re sure.
Optional but Recommended: Clean Registry Entries
This is where it gets a little dicey because Windows registry is fragile. Still, FitGirl’s repacks sometimes don’t clean up after themselves. Here’s what to do:
- Press Windows + R, type
regedit, and hit Enter. This opens the Registry Editor. - Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE. Look for folders related to GTA V, Rockstar, or FitGirl Repack.
- Right-click on those folders, and if you’re confident they’re leftover, delete them. On one setup it worked, on another… not so much. Always back up before messing with the registry.
- Close the editor after cleanup, and restart your PC for good measure.
Not sure why it works, but this helps remove crumbs left in the system that might cause issues later.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
Sometimes the uninstaller just refuses to do its thing, or Windows blocks some parts. Here are quick tips:
- Before doing registry edits, back up your current registry. Just go to File > Export in regedit — you never know.
- If uninstallation stalls or doesn’t remove everything, consider using third-party tools like Revo Uninstaller. They can force delete stubborn leftovers.
- Make sure to run everything with admin rights. Not doing so can block some steps.
Wrap-up
Following these steps probably clears out almost all remnants of GTA 5 FitGirl Repack. The manual cleanup can be a bit tedious, but it beats leaving gigabytes of junk behind. Just remember, always be cautious when editing the registry, and don’t go deleting random files unless you’re sure—they’re leftovers.
Summary
- Locate the game folder manually or via desktop shortcut.
- Run the built-in uninstaller or delete the folder manually.
- Check and delete leftover files in Documents, AppData, and Program Files.
- Back up registry before manually deleting leftover entries.
- Use third-party tools if uninstall refuses to cooperate.
Just in case — FAQ
What if the game still shows up after uninstalling?
It might be a leftover shortcut or registry entry. Try deleting the desktop icon manually, then check Program Files again, and clean registry entries if needed.
Is editing the registry risky?
Yeah, it can be. A wrong move might mess up system settings. Just back it up first, take your time, and don’t delete stuff unless you’re sure it’s leftover.
Can I reinstall later after all this mess?
Of course. Uninstalling isn’t forever. Just keep the installer handy if you want to reinstall, or grab a fresh one.
Hopefully, this shaves off a few hours for someone trying to do a proper cleanup instead of leaving bits bouncing around. Just takes patience.
