Can I recover deleted games?

Yes, you can often recover deleted games and progress by reinstalling them from your app store's library (Google Play/Apple App Store) and logging back into your associated account (Google, Apple ID, etc.) to sync data, but if you never linked an account and deleted the game, data might be lost permanently, though some PC games (like Steam) allow file verification or support requests.

Will I lose everything if I uninstall a game and reinstall it?

No, you generally won't lose everything, but it depends on the game's save system, as uninstalling removes local files but often leaves cloud saves or data in your Documents/AppData folders; most modern PC games on platforms like Steam use Steam Cloud to sync progress, but older or mobile games might store saves with the game files, leading to data loss if not backed up.

Are apps permanently deleted?

Uninstalling an app removes the application itself and its local data (cache, temporary files, user settings) from your device, but doesn't automatically delete your account or data stored on the app's servers (the cloud), meaning you could still lose progress or data if it wasn't synced, and the company might still have your info unless you delete your account directly. For a complete removal, you often need to manually clear data, sign out, or delete the account within the app's settings or website before uninstalling.

Will I lose my progress if I delete a game?

Uninstalling a game often deletes save files if they are stored within the game's installation folder, but many modern games use cloud saves (like Steam Cloud or Xbox Cloud Saves) which back up your progress online, allowing you to keep it; however, if a game doesn't use cloud saves or has them disabled, your local saves will likely be lost unless you manually back them up, so check the game's specific settings or store page.
