Can't uninstall The Almost Gone from Amazon
Hi, I can't seem to remove The Almost Gone from my Library. I installed it using Amazon, then if i click on "Uninstall" the files of the game are removed, but the game is still showing as installed in my Heroic library. I can select Uninstall again, it says that game has been uninstalled but it's still in the library with the "uninstall" option available. Can you help me? Thanks!

try this:
- look for the game folder and delete it
- heroic then should show the game as
not available
- try to launch the game
- heroic should detect the folder is missing and ask you if you want to remove it from the list of installed gamesequal-aquaOP•2y ago
Thanks. If I click on Play nothing happens but the game is not marked as not available

there should be a text file at
~/.config/heroic/nile_config/nile/installed.json, you can remove the game editing that file manually
I'm confused why is the not available detection not working thoughequal-aquaOP•2y ago
It seems that the problem is more complicated. I found the file you mentioned in my .var directory. I removed the line for the Almost Gone game. Now when I open Heroic no game is available. If I try to import an existing game, nothing happens. If I click on Details for a game it says "Cannot get game info" and if I press Reset Heroic, it closes the app but if I open it again, the settings have not been removed

Thanks. The log were saying that the installed.json file is corrupted. I deleted it, and now Heroic is working as expected, I imported another game correctly. Thanks!
