Uninstalling MW3 (Modern Warfare 3) will free up space on your device but delete any saved games and progression not backed up online or elsewhere. If you're playing on a platform with cloud saving (like Steam or console networks), your progress might be safe. However, reinstalling the game will require downloading it again. To keep your progress safe, ensure cloud saving is enabled or backup your saves locally if possible.
