The game folder didn't let me uninstall it. I'm honestly a biiit scared of having downloaded a virus

Why would you Uninstall a good game? It's on my phone, no matter if I'm done with it or if I'm low on storage space.

It installs the new game without removing the old version, so you have to delete the old folder manually, but it does *not* get stuck if you *close* the Itch client out and ten delete it.

It seems that I have misread the top comment.

It happens, though the top comment seems to be worried about a lock on files open in an application, which is a pretty common thing to keep you from breaking active things on your PC even in Linux...

Though a root user can easily override that while a Windows Admin can not.

Even Firefox has a lock in the directory that makes it impossible to delete, even as an admin, while the browser is running.

Huh

Most likely, your computer was still accessing it, which can happen with any program you run, not just my game. If you go to task manager, you can force close it, and that'll let you delete it

In the end I brute forced the uninstall through different adminstratory shenanigans. Of course I made sure to have it closed in the task manager beforehand though and it still denied me from uninstalling, saying I would lack administratory permission (which is impossible as I'm the only one in possesion of my pc). Thank you though, I appreciate you trying to help me ^^
