Uninstalling DDU
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?

Re: Uninstalling DDU
Thanks for reporting, it is due to a little issue with our installer / uninstaller script.Keith Weisshar wrote: ↑Sat Mar 15, 2025 4:50 pm 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?
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.Keith Weisshar wrote: ↑Wed Mar 19, 2025 1:32 am 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.

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.Keith Weisshar wrote: ↑Wed Mar 19, 2025 1:32 am 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.
So when you check both box, everything including the DDU folder is removed.
