    I never play this anymore since I have TF2, and want to clean up some space on my HD. I'm just wondering if uninstalling it will delete me save data and multiplayer unlocks and accounts.

    You will probably be asked when uninstalling but to be safe i suggest backing it up manually.

    So basically you're saying you want to backup your save games and then uninstall the game itself (since you're not playing it and want to save space) ?
    In that case, your save games are here.
    [COD4 Root Folder]\players\profiles\[Profile Name]

    Backup that folder and you're good to go! :)
