Prepared3D v5 uninstall procedure

Post by wombat »

Hi Guys,

I have looked in FAQ and Support Forum but cannot find an answer to my problem, what is the correct procedure to uninstall Prepar3D v5 ?

Prepar3D v5 Academic, then Client then Content then Scenery, from Programs and Features is this the correct procedure to follow ?

There is an uninstall instructions for v4 in FAQ but not for v5

BTW I do want to reinstall later

The other way around - content and scenery first, then client, and finally Academic.

But after this, make sure nothing is left over.

First, go to the drive where P3D was installed and delete the P3D folder if it is still there.

Now, go to the root of the C: drive in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), and in the search box in the top right-hand corner type "Prepar3D v5" - without the quotation marks. When the search is complete, delete whatever was found.

Finally, clean your Registry. I use the Eusing Free Registry Cleaner, followed by the Registry cleaning option in Ccleaner (the free version). Reboot, and you're done.

I appreciate the link, I note the date being 2017 when the uninstall thread was listed, is there any change over the last four years?

The procedures are still the same.
