I just uninstalled Mass Effect 2 (Origin version), along with Mass Effect 1 and 3, with the two later, not have any problem, but for some reason, Galaxy 2.0 continue showing MA2 as installed.

Had the same problem ... until i started the Origin client after the deinstallation. Only then Galaxy registered the uninstalled Origin games as uninstalled.

I'm also having this same problem, but with Mass Effect 1. I've manually open Origin and confirmed that it's uninstalled there but Galaxy won't update. Syncing does nothing either.
Edit: Just fixed it. Harzzach's solution is correct, so for anyone finding this thread later for help, you may need to have both Galaxy and Origin open at the same time.

Same thing, with Icewind Dale. Wanted to reinstall it in a different folder, now I can't even play the game

So this is an old thread but anyway.
Epic had Battlefront II for free a short while ago. While getting it over the Epic Launcher, I actually had to install it via Origin Launcher. GOG also discovered the Origin Game as installed, not as Epic game. However, after playing it for a little while I uninstalled the game via Origin (it wasn't even possible over Epic even though it was shown under installed games). But GOG won't discover the Game as uninstalled. It still appears after several days now. I also tested if GOG would update after opening all other launchers, nada. I even restarted the PC and opened the other launchers before GOG.
My guess, it cannot detect the uninstallation because of the Epic/Origin cooperation.
