Installing Wuthering Waves is a breeze, but when it comes to bidding farewell, you might find yourself in for an unexpected challenge. Uninstalling it from your device can be more complicated than you’d think, requiring you to complete a few additional steps.
The uninstallation problems surrounding Wuthering Waves generally only happen on PCs. On mobile devices, it’s typically a simple two-click process. However, when it comes to the PC uninstallation, there’s a good reason for the difficulty—and no, it’s not the game stubbornly clinging to your hard drive, refusing its fate of deletion. The culprit appears to be an oversight in the design of its launcher.
