How to Uninstall Battle.net

Battle.net is an online service operated by Activision Blizzard, as well as the client application that serves as a game launcher and a digital game store. Battle.net has a number of the usual digital storefront and game client features such as friends, chat, library management and the ability to buy games directly through the application.

It serves as the home of a number of popular games, both free-to-play and with a price tag, including Hearthstone, Overwatch, World of Warcraft and the Starcraft and Diablo series.

If you no longer wish to play any Battle.net games for the time being, you might want to also uninstall the client application along with them. Make sure you uninstall all games in your Battle.net library before you move on to uninstalling the application itself, to free up the disk space they occupy.
