How do I uninstall the sample content? i.e I’ve downloaded a couple of the mobile templates, but now want to delete them from my system.

I’m on OSX if that matters?

I’ve tried deleting them from my Documents folder, but the launcher just updates to “repair”…

Thanks!

Hi reefG,

We’ll probably add an explicit uninstall option to the launcher later, but for now you’ll have to go to a double secret location here, “~/Library/Application Support/Epic/UnrealEngineLauncher/Data/Manifests”. If you remove the manifest file for the corresponding content package, you should see it disappear from the launcher the next time you run it.

Cheers,

Where would that folder be on PC? I’m probably blind but I can’t seem to locate it. Thanks.

Hello, Just one small question about that, is there any way to know what manifest corresponds to which package? all I see are some numbers, but I am not sure what to match them with.

You can open the manifest files in Notepad. The first line will look like this:

{“ManifestFileVersion”:“007000000000”,“bIsFileData”:false,“AppID”:“172156000000”,“AppNameString”:“Card_4.0”,“BuildVersionString”:“4.0.2-2047835+++depot+UE4-Releases+4.0-Windows”,

Note the Card_4.0, that is the project name. In this case, the Memory Card game. That will help you identify which project each manifest is for.

Cheers!
