For what its worth even having the original disc probably wouldn't work since the bit versions of Windows 10 don't support SecuRom disk-based copy protection.

The Game Data This is where the game automatically saves your save files and other things such as user preferences. The Registry The registry entries won't take up much space so you may wish to just leave it but if you wish you could try either doing it manually or using some tool.
Improve this answer. Aequitas Aequitas Could you please clarify what the registry entries are for? Is it for showing up in the Uninstall programs list? Something else? That would help me determine whether or not it's worth going through that.
I don't know, it could be a vast range of things but generally for games they're not too important, I'd suggest leaving it. If you want to reinstall Oblivion you may run into some issues so run CCleaner, it's simple to use. It's not easy to manually delete from the registry I don't recommend it. The only reliable method to avoid unwanted or unexpected patches is to always run the game in Off-Line mode.
If you have mods that are not easily re-installed, it is advisable to have a complete backup of the game folder tree, so you can revert when a patch does get forced upon you. Ensure your Steam application is unable to 'phone home' via a network connection to automatically perform verification updates behind your back intended to prevent cheating in multi-player games that will overwrite part of the mod s.
There are two ways to do this, and both may prove necessary i. Easier to accomplish. This prevents the Steam App from connecting to it's servers, but you won't be able to chat, play multi-player, register achievements, or update other games until you switch back to 'Online' mode.
Here are the very basics, but read the Steam Support instructions first. There is more to a first time setup:. Prevents Steam from connecting to it's update servers behind your back. Slightly more complicated, but lets you use the Steam Apps's online functions such as multi-player, and is only required once.
It is not affected by patches or re-installing Steam and does not affect your ability to get updated when you go back to 'Online' mode. You are looking for lines similar to these:. Eventually you will need to patch your game and re-apply your mods, sometimes because you will desire to apply different mods or apply them in a different order. Here is how to restore your game to the latest version of the vanilla game:.
This step is needed to ensure there are no conflicts that the following restoration of vanilla steps won't catch.
Often a player can find they have saved a large number of game files they subsequently have to scroll through in order to get at a desired file, and sometimes when the number of files gets over find the scrolling is 'messed up'. And then you wonder why simply deleting them from the local drive folder still fails to eliminate them. The answer is that the files are being restored from the cloud automatically, and you aren't really getting rid of them.
Save game cloud syncing is the process of having local save game data automatically copied to or from cloud storage so the latest version of a given save state is present in both locations. It can be useful to understand how the Steam Cloud servers sync save game files. However, the 'simpler but not as efficient' method of disabling the Steam Cloud first and then deleting files worked for me.
I attributed the difference to the age of the technique description and later revisions to the Steam application and synching process. The Steam Game Save Locations article on the same site may also prove of some assistance in locating save files. That thread has grown quite lengthy, but the game save locations are now maintained as a wiki. Steam Cloud is used to backup config files and save games online in order to access them from every computer you register with Steam.
Steam applications which support Cloud synching by default use the Steam Cloud service. Not all Steam games support this capability. GameSave Manager: Freeware Supports many cloud storage services besides Steam, as well as alternate drives and directories. When you start a game for the first time, the GameFolder savegame is created.
When you close it, the GameFolder savegame is copied to the UserData savegame which is then subsequently synced as the Cloud savegame on the Steam Cloud servers.
When you start a game from another computer, if Steam has a Cloud savegame file on its servers but doesn't find a matching UserData savegame file on your computer, it will copy the Cloud savegame to the UserData folder.
Steam Cloud automatically downloads the missing files each time you start Steam in 'Online' mode. Inside that folder you'll find a sub-folder for each game using Steam Cloud you have installed.
When you look in your Steam Library, the games which are synced to the cloud have a 'cloud icon' after their name. In the game folder you'll find:. Finally, if you have problems with installing a mod see the following wiki article. Note that this document is one of those it will refer you to, so you might as well start by reviewing the material here. Installing an ENB can be quite tricky, especially if it's your first time. Of course, there's always a first time for things, so this guide is here to help you to get through the installation step by step.
Note that you're still supposed to read through the description of certain pages, because not every ENB is installed in exactly the same way. Please read through the guide first before making rash steps and decisions. Nope because that info is stored in the save filles which is in a seperate folder to the main install folder. When you uninstall it might ask if you want to remove saved games and settings so make sure you say no to any of that or it might delete your saved games.
It's been a long time since I uninstalled it so I can't remember if it prompts for that. You can use the saved game files in a new install of the game but all the required mods etc need to be installed or it will have a lot of missing content. Reinstalling might reset the controls so you have to remap them but that doesn't take long. Last edited by arottweiler ; 9 Dec, pm. But wat if i uninstall it on steam and not on the oblivion launcher?
Then the same thing applies: make a copy of that saves folder if you want to be safe. If you have a saved game that keeps crashing it sounds like it's corrupt so reinstalling isn't going to fix that and just makes a lot of work for you to install everything again.
