Uninstalling the game through Steam.

Hazeron Starship is installed entirely through Steam. This means that removing it is mostly as simple as right-clicking the game in your library, selecting "Manage", and then clicking "Uninstall".

This uninstalls the game. However, screenshots, temporary, and save files are stored in a folder called Hazeron Starship outside of the steam installation directory, which is not affected by the uninstallation.

If wishing to completely remove the game, the user also has to manually delete this folder.

The location of that folder is as follows:

  • Windows
    C:\Users\<username>\Hazeron Starship
    or
    %USERPROFILE%\Hazeron Starship
  • Mac
    $HOME/Hazeron Starship
  • Unix
    $HOME/Hazeron Starship

Many game settings are also stored in the registry.

To remove these in Windows:

  1. Run regedit
  2. Use the registry editor to delete the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Hazeron Freehold\Hazeron Starship
