    What sign? From the command line (with administrator rights) rhenium (to change the wrong name) or deltree (to delete a directory with all its contents) .

    I don't know how to show you this. With Revo uninstaler I deleted everything. Then I see that Revo still sees the funny epick games and does not want to uninstall.

    Have you given an advanced uninstall to revo and removed everything it detected?

    That's exactly what I did. I deleted all epick games files but it still shows epick games launcher is on my computer. Maybe I had my system disk cloning differently and I couldn't run epick games although it was installed on a different disk anyway. I uninstalled everything on revo and it continues to show me this funny error that is in the subject.

    Closing the topic, it was enough to replace the letter of the path from "S" to "D" and you can safely remove it
