How to Uninstall Fortnite

Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world, available on virtually any device with a screen large enough to support it. Developed and published by Epic Games, the game uses a free-to-play model with a ton of purchasable in-game items and cosmetics that can be acquired with real money.

The game's popularity is immense and it is very likely the largest revenue generator for Epic Games, along with the company's licensing of its in-house Unreal Engine to third-party developers against royalty payments under certain conditions.

If for some reason you don't feel like playing Fortnite anymore, whether because you want to try another free battle royale game or because you can't get to terms with how badly you perform in Fortnite, this article will offer a brief guide on how to uninstall the game.

To uninstall Fortnite from your computer, regardless of whether you use a Mac or a Windows 10 system, follow these steps:

  1. Start the Epic Games Launcher.

  2. Click on the Library menu entry in the panel on the left.

  3. Click on the small “Settings” button located next to Fortnite in your library of games in the right panel.

  4. Select “Uninstall” from Fortnite’s settings menu and confirm your choice.

Following those steps will completely remove Fortnite's install from your hard drive. Using a discrete launcher and application like the Epic Games Launcher to manage your games gives you the ability to install and uninstall games without having to fiddle with your system's control panel or settings, or needing to do a manual uninstall.

Of course, uninstalling just Fortnite will not interfere with your Epic Games Launcher install and you will always be able to launch and play other games you have in your Epic account.

You can reinstall Fortnite at any point in time and play again, provided you keep the Epic Games Launcher installed and intact on your hard drive, on both Windows and Mac computers.
