Normally, in the worst case if you go into the game folder you should have a file called "unins000.exe" or something like that, if you double click it should uninstall the game.

But I am not sure to understand what you mean by "it makes backup and now just fill my PC" ? do you mean that you installed the game twice ?

Just to be sure, did you download the games installers from the website or are you installing the game using Galaxy ?

Ok, and how did you uninstall it initially ? with Galaxy and did you try to delete/uninstall the files manually ?

What Galaxy seems to be doing here is that it somehow detected that you game was "damaged" and tries to download the missing/damaged files to "repair" it. Of course depending of the files that it detect missing or damaged it can means re-downloading most of the game.

Basically I would say you have two choices :

Either you let it finish, it should normally repair the game in the default folder where you originally installed it.

Or you can abort the downloads, (in the bottom left of Galaxy interface you should have the list of current downloads where you can pause or abort them), uninstall the game, remove the files (in case the uninstall somehow doesn't remove everything) and then reinstall the game from scratch.
ok will try
