Uninstalling

It is recommended by ICONICS to use Add/Remove Applications from Control Panel to uninstall the applications. Since applications are registered in the registry, Add/Remove uninstalls the product and makes the required registry changes for you.

 

If you uninstall some common components that are used by the product, you may be required to register those components again or simply reinstall the product.

 

NOTE: Do not delete the files and directories manually; doing so will leave the registry entries intact and interfere with future installations. Please use the uninstall feature of the operating system!
