    I have a bit of a problem I am using a school computer and we can't install games on them so I want to ask what is the easiest way to clean the computer of anything that has to do with games without leaving any traces whatsoever and without formating the harddrive

    download a file shredder and shred the files, then run a reg cleaner. Then defragment.
