I have a file that take 21.5 GB from my SSD that i can't find or delete, even though i have the same file with a totally different size in another hard drive that i run the game from, i tried to uninstall it from the the storage in the system settings and i get the message the file can't be found, i tried looking for the file manually and i still can't find it.

there are a few suggestions here on how to get around this: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/742853-Game-Launcher-Not-Found-A-more-recent-version-of-the-Game-Launcher-detected/page2?s=c1d0b6cd01fdb97e2181b4bf7dc0a3e2

there are a few removal tools around but they aren't official.

are you running it through steam? maybe you uninstall it through steam? if its a steam game you should be able to move the default library location to another drive

i'm running the game through steam and i installed it through steam in another hard drive, checking through steam the game still in that drive and it's 34 GB not 21.5 GB.

See if this helps: https://github.com/Codeusa/SteamCleaner/releases

can try this:

Move the subfolder /steamapps/ in a safe place before uninstalling Steam, then do the following steps:

1. Uninstall Steam
2. Reinstall Steam
3. Launch Steam
4. Exit Steam
6. Move the content of your /steamapps/ backup to the new /steamapps/ subfolder
7. Relaunch Steam
At this point Steam should find all games without any other action; in the worst case, where Steam does not detect some games as installed, just reinstall them and the game will be downloaded and ready in few seconds/minutes because it only need to validate the game content cache.

I think that should remove uplay as well but at least it doesn't remove all your games or force you to download them all again. I would check if Uplay there between 1 & 2. this might not work as the uplay details might be in the steam apps folder - there is only 2 files there in mine so not sure now.

I just looked at my system and it was similar. Mine says Uplay is taking up 25.2 GB, (even though its a small 100 mb or so program). Then I looked up Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and noticed that Windows didn't show the size of it. I then went into the Uplay folder and found Assassin's Creed inside of the Uplay folder, and thats where the 25.2 GB was coming from.

I do however have the Uninstall.exe listed in the folder.

So whats in your C:\Program Files (x86)\ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\Games\ folder?
