Uninstalling a game does not typically delete your save files. Most games store save data separately from the installation files, either in your system's save folder or cloud storage. To ensure your progress is safe, check the game's settings for backup options or confirm where save files are stored. Always double-check this before uninstalling to avoid losing your game progress.**
