How Can I Remove All Traces of NVDA
Stanley Haupt
Hello NVDA Users How can I remove all traces of NVDA 2023.1 from this computer? Would this action allow me to reinstall NVDA 2023.1 as a fresh installation? Stanley |

It should, but what problem are you having? Often, when people ask
how to do something, what they want to do isn't a good solution or
an efficient one. I believe people should generally explain what
they actually want to accomplish such as what problem they want to
solve when they ask how to do something because I've seen this so
many times. People give the help the user wants, then later, in
further discussion, it comes out that the actual problem is much
better or more likely to be solved in a different way.

Hello.
After uninstalling NVDA with the standard Windows uninstallation stepps, bring up the run dialogue with Windows R and type appdata.
Find the Roaming folder, look for the folder called NVDA, then delete it. Whenever you go to install NVDA again, it will be just like any new copy. |

However the user forgot to put the percent signs around the "appdata" that you type in the run dialog. It should be: %appdata% However, I agree with Gene: you almost certainly shouldn't do this. If you're just going to install the same version of NVDA again, there is probably a far less dramatic solution that you can try. If this is all about the thing with the Tom voice and the prompt to install a replacement, if my last instructions don't help you solve that problem, it is likely that cycling NVDA installations like you want to do, won't solve it either. So please tell us why you want to do this. Luke |
