How To Uninstall Call of Duty Vanguard FitGirl Repack (2025)
If you’ve tried to remove Call of Duty: Vanguard FitGirl Repack from your PC and it’s being stubborn, don’t worry. Sometimes these repacks install in weird places or leave behind leftover files that haunt your storage and registry. Clean uninstallation is key if you’re trying to free up space, fix bugs, or just start fresh. This walkthrough covers some tried-and-true methods to get rid of the game completely. Expect to delete leftover files, clean registry entries, and avoid reinstallation hiccups.
How to Uninstall Call of Duty Vanguard from Your PC
Access the game’s installation folder
This first part is kind of annoying because the game might be tucked away in a weird directory or not show up in the normal uninstall options. Usually, you want to find the actual folder where you installed Vanguard. Here’s what to do:
- Right-click on the Call of Duty Vanguard desktop shortcut.
- Select Open file location from the context menu. If that’s not available, check in Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders — often, the game downloads into a folder like
C:\Games\Vanguardor similar. - If you’re running it through a launcher (like Battle.net or Steam), open the launcher, go to your library, right-click the game, and see if there’s an uninstall option there. Sometimes, third-party repacks just install files directly, so hunt for uninstallers inside the folder.
Run the uninstaller or manually delete files
This is where things get messy because not all repacks include a clean uninstaller. If you see an executable named Uninstall.exe or similar, double-click that. Otherwise, you might need to do some manual cleanup:
- If there’s an uninstaller, it usually does the job, removing main files and registry entries. Just follow the prompts. On some setups, it might randomly fail or leave junk behind.
- In case no uninstaller exists, delete the folder entirely. Be careful to check for other related folders in Downloads, Documents, or your game library path.
Remove leftover registry entries
This part is kinda nasty but often necessary because repacked games skip the official uninstallation process and leave registry keys behind. Use a registry cleaner like CCleaner or manually clean to avoid future issues:
- Press Win + R, type
regedit, and hit Enter. - Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software (also check Wow6432Node) for anything related to Vanguard or the game’s publisher.
- If you find keys that look related, right-click and delete them. Be cautious—don’t delete random registry entries! If unsure, back up the registry first.
Honestly, kind of weird how some leftovers stay even after deleting the game files. Windows has to make it harder than necessary.
Clear game cache and leftover files
Sometimes, leftover save files, cache data, or config files can cause issues or just clutter your space. Check these folders:
- Documents\Call of Duty Vanguard — if you see save files or configs, back them up if you want to keep progress, then delete them.
- C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Vanguard or Roaming — these hidden folders often store persistent data. Show hidden files with View > Hidden Items.
- Use tools like WinDirStat if you’re trying to find and clear large leftover folders from the drive.
Extra tips & common issues
If the game refuses to fully uninstall or refuses to delete files, here’s what’s worked on some setups:
- Stop any related background processes: open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc, look for processes named Vanguard or related, and end them before deleting files.
- Run the uninstaller as administrator — right-click, then choose Run as administrator.
- If command line is your thing, you can try this in PowerShell or Command Prompt:
rmdir /s /q "C:\Path\To\Vanguard Folder"Replace with the actual path. Just watch out not to delete crucial stuff by mistake.
- Third-party uninstallers like Revo Uninstaller can scan for remnants better than Windows’ default.
Wrap-up
Getting rid of these repacks can be a pain because of how they scatter files and skip usual cleanup steps. But with these steps, chances are good to wipe everything clean. It might take a bit of patience, but it’s doable—especially if you want a fresh start or free space.
Summary
- Find the game folder, delete or run its uninstaller
- Clean leftover files in Documents, AppData, and Program Files
- Clean registry keys cautiously
- Use third-party tools if things get really stubborn
Final stuff
This process is kinda messy on purpose—because of course, Windows has to make it harder than it should. Not sure why some leftovers cling so tightly, but on one PC it worked smoothly, on another, I needed a registry clean first. Fingers crossed this helps someone save a few hours. Good luck!
