Of course you can erase all your data in your pc. And next time, play on virtualbox machine. Safer, more sandbox so. And you can backup whenever you want, and even change your time and language to japanese (some games cannot work without it)

make sense but i'll use this as a last resort
Well, up to you. Another method you can use is to delete files using the games uninstaller or via the control panel, if you want to make double sure, i.e. not just installing via code i.e. clicking but also manually using hardware you can find your computer hard drive and pass a magnet over it, it secure locks the hard drive in a none-write state.

You should ask yourself, is it worth it? What is the worst it can happen if someone finds you are playing erotic games... You shouldn't be so paranoid.

But if you can't help but be paranoid use a virtual machine to install games like Voidstaff mentioned. By far it is the cleanest route and you can backup it or fully erase as necessary.

+ In windows 11 (if you have) you can enable core isolation. Even more protect

Sure you are right but i just dont like to see this files while im working.I did try virtual machine and like you said anyone can run virtual machine and could see erotic games.Thanks anyway

You should browse the "appdata" folder and it's subfolders, the "documents" folder, and the "program data" folder for traces of left over game related folders, these are all common places where games likes to store persistent data (save & gamedata files). Just delete things you are sure about. After that run CCleaner or something similar. If you are a cleanfreak you might consider running the registry scan in CCleaner. That should get most of the traces the average "nosy guest" might find by browsing on your computer.

Good Luck
I did that too but it become annoying in time :D . Thanks to you too

Install CCleaner and Glary Utilities those do a good job of clearing out tracks and most of your reg without you needing to use regedit, just make sure you know what you are doing when you check the boxes and also keep in mind if others use the pc you will be clearing their settings too unless you have your own account on the pc.

You could also look into getting a removable HD and running the games from their, that way if you REALLY need to to delete everything it's alot easier and safer to format it than a system HD.

You can encrypt the virtual machine, both VMWare and VirtualBox have this option if I am not mistaken (or you can encrypt by yourself the drive where the VM is stored). As for the performance of the VM, don't keep it in the same drive of your main OS: move it somewhere else (on an external one, for instance).
I don't know, but cleaning every time Windows registry sounds like a hassle to me and you risk to break something. Also, VMs are safer. Good luck!

If you want to get rid of everything with one click just install Sandboxie (or anything similar). Everything runs in the sandbox and files are not spread everywhere on Windows and the games cannot modify anything outside the sandbox. I use it for safety reason because I don't trust games downloaded from pirate sites but it can also be useful in your case.
When you want to delete any trace you simply delete the sandbox you created. Obviously you have to run the game inside the sandbox, not outside.
Sandboxie is now open source and free, by the way.

Since you can't vote for yourself,, you are down 2-0 ... You are not even slightly amusing. (n)
Wow you're back again, I think we can see my reaction score stands for itself. You following me and still bearing a grudge over the last time we spoke well that says it all really. I thought you said you had blocked me, clearly you haven't. Sit down bruv you're a fan seriously!
