How to remove Denuvo leftovers?
Based on this statement from Denuvo EULA: "(V) CERTAIN FILES OF THE ANTI-TAMPER TECHNOLOGY MAY REMAIN EVEN AFTER THE PRODUCT IS UNINSTALLED FROM YOUR COMPUTER.".
Does anyone know where these Denuvo files are located so I can remove the leftovers of other Denuvo protected games that I already uninstalled?
Thanks in advance!!

check installed software in windows,
manual wipe content and userdata area with that game or per game userdata location.
+ steam game install folder location.

this is logic, for most experience gamers, some even do CCleaner or other app that checkup on pc. and windows registration database.
So Denuvo DRM will show up in Add/Remove Programs list? I thought it would just be in a specific folder but without being listed.

Easy, remove the game, then remove steam.... delete your steam account via support ticket, they'll ask you for evidence of your ID.... as steam is a basically an antipiracy denuvo DRM utility. bye bye!
I think you missed the point.

He's just asking how to properly uninstall Devuno after the game is uninstalled.

This isn't reverse engineering!
The only files Denuvo AT creates is a file a few KB in size (between 2 - 6KB or so) which act as authentication tokens. For those steam games with which include Denuvo Anti Tamper it's usually found in the userdata steam app id folder, the filename is a string of numbers. There may be more than one file if the game exe has contacted the authentication servers more than once.

These files are inert and can be deleted. - If you then play that game again, it triggers an request with the authentication servers and just creates a new token file.
