How to uninstall the CIV V demo?

[hanterp]

Now I own the retail version of CIV, I want to uninstall the CIV V Demo.
I know where it is ( My Documents/my games ) but I dont want to just remove the files, as that will make a mess from the registry-entries.
I don't see an uninstall.exe and in the control-centre -> Software the demo-version does not appear.

Any idea how I can get rid of this demo in the right way ?

Right mouseclick the demo in Steam and select "Delete Local Content"

Problem is that the Demo is not in the list of games, probably because it is a free downloaded game and not a purchased one.

Probably I should find it somewhere else on steam, but where

It could be, that the demo just has been upgraded to the full version. Just check directly the folders in the steam subfolders out, if there is more than 1 civ5 folder.

There is a Civilization V folder and a Civilization V Demo folder.

Try checking the different views under your games tab in Steam.

In none of the views I see the demo

Same here.

I just read a report somewhere that installing the full game "overwrites" the demo, can't remember where I saw it though.

Uninstalled. I did it with Windows (that list of installed programs, don't know the name in english). Don't forget to delete the folder from Documents/My Games.

Hi all,

now it's my turn to fight the beast:

I want to uninstall the demo. I have not yet installed the full version. The demo shows in the steam window and I tried deinstalling it through the WindowsXP "Installed Software" dialog.

Here's what happened: Steam came up with a confirmation dialog ("do you really want to uninstall?"). Clicked "yes", of course.

Since then the steam window only shows "Synchronizing..." in the "Status" column. Harddisk rattles once in a while, no progress, no change. Since about 45 minutes.

Any ideas? Anyone facing the same issue?

Cheers,
