I just tried to unistall WoW and it told me there were a bunch of files missing, said it couldn't unistall and then removed itself from the add/remove programs list. How do I remove this program from my computer now?
no you cannot have a sig that size. especially with compression that crappy.

WoW is a huge install, 1.5hours about.
Basically what I'm asking is... how do I uninstall a program that isnt' listing in the add/remove list?
Edit: so upon further inspection the .exe file is gone, but all the other patch shit is still there. The uninstall thing took less than a second, could it have actually worked and just left a bunch of info behind?
if that doesn't work, delete you wow folder
I remember when I uninstalled WoW (I've been dry for 90 days now,
Like serioulsy I wouldn't be surprised if they made it that way purposely, so you can never leave...
But today if my first day free and clear. With the new honor changes I had an unexpect moment of clarity that changed my perspective drastically. I just relized that the amount of time I was wasting to get fucking electronic numbers was absurd.
those aren't numbers, they're phat lewtz!
As for uninstalling WoW, if the uninstaller failed the only part you really need to worry about is the WoW install folder (C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft by default I think). Deleting that will clear up the vast majority of the 1.5GB of space WoW was taking up. You may have some leftover registry keys or application data, but you'll never see those and they won't affect anything unless you reinstall WoW. Which isn't going to happen, because you've got willpower, right? Right?
Quiet you!
If you are really quiting you should log in and delete your characters. I bet you can't do it. I double dare yah
You know what... I can't. I really can't. I actually told my brother that he can use my account. Gave him the password to a 60 priest geared out and a 57 rogue. But man I have no idea what to do with myself. I've just been browsing these forums for a few hours now.
Get a girlfriend.
Fuck her silly.
i tried to leave twice now......
I always came back.....always...
Oh then you can just get a GM to restore the alts you deleted after you re-install WoW and buy back the E-bayed account with your main on it from the lucky bastard you sold it to. Good as new.
At this point, you've wasted so much getting back into the game, why not just leave it installed in the first place?
What, isn't that what we're trying to do?
I may have cancelled my account, but I can't bear the thought of deleting any of my characters.
Delete their souls.
Srsly though... I do really enjoy all the free time I have now. For almost a year my Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were "booked". I still try to fill up that time, but now it with non-video game stuff...
