How do I delete and reinstall WOW?

I know the title says what to do…

I want a fresh install with literally ZERO info/UI/Add ons saved. Just a totally clean install.

Can I simply just delete C: /Program Files (x86) / World of Warcraft?

and then redownload it? Should I also delete the Bnet launcher? Anything I am missing I may not know about, like files in another directory or something like that?

You can perform an uninstall via the Bnet launcher. Click the gear icon next to play for this option. Then, look to see if everything in the WoW directory was removed.

Removing the directory won’t uninstall system changes, like registry entries, etc.

That will remove anything and everything related to WoW? There is nothing left over?

Yes, that should.

In the past, WoW never made registry changes. Has that changed?

Wouldnt a full UI reset do the same thing.
