Hi. I hope this is a kind of question I can ask here, I don't think on the forum of the game itself they would be very friendly to me, considering this is about deleting the game.. sorry in advance, then!
I've played the MMO game "Tera" for quite some time, but now I realized I don't really play on it that often anymore, and to make space for other games I deleted it. Simply, with the Windows delete option, I choose to delete it and "InstallShield wizard" did the rest. Deleting it went fine. The shortcut got deleted from my desktop and when I looked at how many GB space I had left, I went from 255 to 289: so, it IS deleted, the files must be.
But, when I went to the Windows Start screen right after deleting, the shortcut is still there: "Tera" smiling very friendly (and real creepy) as if it's saying, "suprise, bet you thought you'd seen the last of me".
Now, I'm not that much of a clean and organize-freak, I'm already happy that I got my GB back: it would've been more of a problem if I deleted it, but I wouldn't get any GB back. So if there's no actual solution I might live in peace that I downloaded a MMO that stalks my poor laptop after deleting it. But still, it's a little, just a little bit creepy that there's still a shortcut of a deleted game there. It reminds me of those kind of viruses that don't leave you. You think you got rid of them, but they're still looking at you in the dark. So I want to know if I actually can do anything about this. The exact moment after the deletion I ran CCleaner (with the basic settings). Looks like that didn't help getting rid of it. I also tried to look where the file is located, that thingie you can do on Windows 8 when you right click on it, and when it locates me, it says it's somewhere "unknown". Apparently, it is..
I'm not real desperate to get rid of it if there's really no solution, but I would like to know if there is. Installing some program like a better, or extremer version of CCleaner is fine, I don't mind installing whatever, as long as I'll be able to delete THAT one without it leaving any nasty traces like this did. Again, hope this question is located fine here. Rather not get die hard gamers ripping me to shreds because I ask a question like this on the actual game forum, heh.
Thanks in advance!
