Can you uninstall Minecraft?
Yes, but the game is not on the list of programs that can be uninstalled, because of the fact that you don't install it. You simply download the game, and not the installation file. Therefore, it must be uninstalled by deleting your Minecraft.exe file. If you haven't moved it after you downloaded it, it will be in your Downloads folder. If you have moved it, and you're not sure where, you can go to the desktop and right click the Minecraft shortcut and then click "Open file location", and then just delete the file and the shortcut.
