Now before you reach for the Windows ‘Programs and Features’ to uninstall, stop! Using the Windows uninstaller for each product is a manual process, and who knows in which order to best do it? /softimage-xsi-2016.html. There is an alternative. A little known fact is that Autodesk also provide their own Uninstall Tool. You can find it right there on the Start menu. Open the uninstall tool from the Start menu (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS). It's listed along with other products in the Autodesk folder. Example: Start Autodesk Uninstall Tool (Windows) or Finder Applications AutoCAD Remove AutoCAD (Mac OS). In the tool window, select the products to uninstall. Uninstall the medium resolution image library followed by the base resolution image library and then the Autodesk material library. After add-in applications are uninstalled, select the main product to be uninstalled. Click Uninstall/Change (Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10) or Change/Remove (Windows XP). Then in Add/Remove Programs go and manually uninstall things like Object Enablers, then if I want to really clean it, will use CCleaner and do about 4 passes to remove all the registry junk. The Autodesk removal tool is terrible and does not remove everything it should and and yes uninstalling sucks! Select any Autodesk product you need to uninstall, then click Uninstall/Change.
