How to: Correct UNinstall of FSX

Postby SubZer0 » Fri Aug 15, 2008 11:15 pm

I'm sure many of us have had several problems with FSX with the only result being an uninstall of the program. However, have we been doing it right? I know Nick has explained several times how to install correctly, but after looking through the threads and stickies, I haven't been able to find anything on how to correctly UNinstall the program.

So... Nick?

This might not be exactly correct, but when I want to do a full uninstall I firstly run the uninstaller. This will uninstall all original files, any added or modified files wont be removed. Go to where your main FSX is/was and delete it, this will remove any addons or modifications. Next go to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ and delete the FSX folder, this removes all of your settings. If you want, before you delete this folder you can backup your Rewards file if you don't want to lose it.
