If you need to free up storage space, troubleshoot persistent issues, or perform a clean reinstallation, uninstalling CONTROL Ultimate Edition from your iPhone or iPad may help.
Because CONTROL Ultimate Edition includes large downloadable asset packs and additional game data, removing the game can also help clear corrupted files or incomplete downloads that may affect performance or stability.
