I'm not sure if you have any experience with programming, but this is certainly still early.

The fact that the issue isn't solved could mean they don't even know how to replicate it yet/have no idea where to look for the problem. It's not that (un)installing is unexpected, it's how you (un)install or where or any number of other variables they didn't account for. The version was 0.1.619.0, downloaded on 8th of April. This file has a variable declaration called AppDir which points to it's own location.
#Magic arena installer 64 bit install
!UPDATE!: I was able to recover a MTGAUpdate.ini file from the install directory(E:/MTGArena). TL DR: I don't know why or how this is possible and I'm mad. More users might be affected by this without knowing since the installer doesn't even inform the user of what files it is deleting and there is no warning whatsoever. If your fix was to not allow people to change the install directory it clearly didn't work. I know that You were informed of this issue more than a week ago. At this point I am not sure if important files were deleted. All the files and folders from A to P were permanently removed. By this point the installer had deleted 7000 photos and gigabytes of other data from my computer. I tried to close the installer and then to close the process but in the end I had to force shutdown my computer. When google backup and sync asked me if I wanted to delete files from cloud that I had removed from my computer I became suspicious. The installer hanged on deleting files and the progress bar didn't move but installers are known to stall with strange messages so I ignored it. I think it was E:/magicArena or something similar. I then executed it and tried to change the install directory but for some reason the option was grayed out so I had to choose the default directory. I downloaded the official installer(on 2nd of august) and saved it in E:/downloads. The original install directory might have been in place because of this.
I had previously installed Magic Arena and also uninstalled it. Since I don't feel like writing it again, here's the ticket I sent to Magic Arena support with more information on how this happened: At this point I'm not even sure if I lost something important than a few installed games, but if this is not fixed it will most likely cause serious damage. Thankfully I had at least my pictures folder backed up. I lost all my folders and files in my storage drive in alphabetical order from A to P.
The only way I was able to stop the rampaging installer was a forced shutdown. I had put the installer in the background so I didn't know it was still stuck on deleting folders. I noticed that something strange was going on when google backup and sync popped up prompting me to delete files from the cloud that I had removed from my computer. The problem is that there is no way for the user to know what files are being deleted. If the installer gets stuck on "deleting folders" just shut down your computer and you might save many files. I wanted to post here right away to warn others to not install or at least be careful when doing so. I haven't found any other incidences of this occurring so it might be a rare problem. There was a post more than a week ago on this subreddit about the installer deleting files in the parent directory of the installation path.
