Genshin Impact has built a massive player within three years of launch but the game has its fair share of mechanics that might compel you to uninstall it.

While doing so isn’t a complicated process, each device has its own steps. So if you want to uninstall HoYoverse’s RPG, here’s what you need to do.

How to uninstall Genshin Impact on PC
