    How do I remove downloaded games and teaser videos from my Origin game list? I right click, but the uninstall option is grayed out for everything.

    I just use the regular uninstall from the Windows Control Panel.
    (I quit Origin just to be safe)
    Then boot up Origin and the game will show the download icon instead of play.

    The button isn't grayed out for me, but clicking it just launched the Windows Add/Remove Programs menu when I uninstalled the BF3 alpha.

    IDK if you can delete them from origins but the downloaded files are usually in C:/origin/downloads I think. You can check by going to the settings and check where it is set to download installers from.
