Uninstalling DDU

Post by Keith Weisshar »

Why does uninstalling DDU leave the Display Driver Uninstaller folder and license.txt file behind until I delete it manually even if not launched after installation?

Thanks for reporting, it is due to a little issue with our installer / uninstaller script.
I will re-upload a fixed one soon

Note, if there is a log folder within the Display Driver Uninstaller folder, both will remain for not loosing the logs.

It still does not delete the empty Display Driver Uninstaller folder itself even if I manually delete the DDU Logs folder and the Settings.xml file and then uninstall the software.

Thanks for testing and reporting this, you are encouraging me to do better. ;)

I'm currently updating the uninstall script so that it will have a checkbox to remove the logs. If ticked it will remove the log folder and also remove the Display Driver Uninstaller folder entirely.

Ill update when it's done. Probably today.

Edit: Installer updated. (clear browser cache if necessary)

Let me know if it's more up to what you would expect.

I updated it today again. Now there is a checkbox for the removal of the settings configuration file too.
So when you check both box, everything including the DDU folder is removed.
