What happens when you delete Epic Games Launcher
Specific to Epic Games Launcher
Your games remain tied to your Epic Games account and can be redownloaded after signing in. Local game saves and configurations stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Epic are not deleted when the app is moved to the Trash. However, you will lose immediate access to launch these titles or manage your library. Data in shared installation folders remains on your disk until removed manually.
Where your Epic Games Launcher data lives
These folders hold your own Epic Games Launcher data. Deleting the app leaves them in place; removing them is what actually deletes it.
- Account and sync
- Games are tied to your Epic Games account and can be downloaded again after signing in.
- Your files
- Some games keep their own saves and settings in subfolders of ~/Library/Application Support/Epic.
Risks of removing Epic Games Launcher
Removing the app without checking cloud synchronization may result in the loss of unsynced game progress. Because the app shares data folders with Unreal Engine, deleting certain directories could affect other software from the same company. You should ensure all local projects are backed up if they rely on the integrated environment. Only emptying the Trash permanently removes the application.
