Did inzol get deleted from my system?
I installed inzol, the character creator demo. 19GIG downloaded ... it installed, I used it, but too limiting to keep it, so I uninstalled via Steam. Did that also delete all the stuff from my computer that downloaded? I cant find anything related, but the uninstall only took a couple seconds from the Steam server and I cannot imagine it was uninstalled from my system

Uninstall option uninstalled the whole demo, that's what it's supposed to do. Not seeing the problem here

The problem was it happened so fast I figured there was no way it uninstalled from my computer, especially at 19 gig of data

Deletion of data is very fast. A 100 GB game like Cyberpunk uninstalls in like 5 seconds and everything is gone.
The trick is that Windows does not really remove the data, it just deletes the link files that tell Windows that those files are there and marks those data sectors as ready to be written on again.
But technically the game files are still there until something new overwrites those sectors.
Thats how recovery tools on PC work, they scan your HDD for those file clusters with no assigned link and let you restore them. Sometimes at least.
But honestly not worth it for some demo especially since all the good recovery tools are pay ones.
