How Do I Know If I Successfully Uninstalled R6?

[Belanskz]

I had to delete this game because I didn't have enough storage but there's still Rainbow Six Siege folder on my documents and I want to know if I actually deleted this game. Is there any way I can know if I had successfully deleted this game?

But why would there be a folder after I uninstalled?

By Documents, do you mean Documents\My Games\Rainbow Six Siege? That's where your config settings are stored. It's often common for games to keep your settings or save games in case you reinstall. Your actual game is in another directory, on steam it's on Steam\steamapps\common\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. If you play on Uplay, it's Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\games. Those are the directories you need to check. If you uninstalled, there might be residual files still in that folder too. Uninstalling a game does not delete directories in most cases.

That explains a lot, I went through Steam\steamapps\common\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and found out that there were folders like logs or match replay but all of those files added up to 1gb. That means its successfully uninstalled, right?

Also what do you get when I award you with steam points?

Yeah you successfully uninstalled. Unfortunately, you'll find with most windows applications, the uninstall functionality doesn't delete everything. Usually the stuff left over has no bearing on registry settings though, so that's good.
