Somehow I thought I did enable it :). The thing is I do not consider Github to be my primary source of questions so probably never checked.

As to your question... you do have to manually open the directory and delete the engine version in question... The button to do it for you can be certainly added but destructive actions are just that... destructive.. with potential of catastrophic failure.

Can you elaborate what you mean by "destructive actions are just that... destructive.. with potential of catastrophic failure"? I just want to delete the engine. That shouldn't in any way be dangerous to anything except, well, the engine, since it'll be deleted.

I am eluding to screwups by other software like Steam where the entire drive got deleted when uninstalling something :).
Sure the delete/uninstall button can be added.. there just needs to be some care taken while doing it.

I wasn't aware of such a thing. However, my knowledge of this launcher is that it doesn't interact with Steam in any manner that would provide Steam reason to know of nor control any software it downloads.

Good to hear. Many thanks.

That was just an example of screwup that happened in the past when some other software did destructive actions, Steam has nothing to do with EAM as of now...
