Important

• If you start the uninstaller while a file is opened, the file or folder might remain undeleted. You need to delete such a file or folder manually.

• If you created files by using Save job file or Save as file in the Job Design View or Item Design View, you need to delete the files manually, if necessary.

• Files under the installation folder and the data folder (such as settings files and log files) will be deleted^# during the uninstallation procedure. If you need them, you have to back them up before the uninstallation.

  #: User-created folders and files under the installation folder and the data folder, however, will not be deleted.
