Procedure : Manually uninstalling and cleaning up TI-NSpire installations
on Windows and MAC
1. Procedure Windows 2000 and Windows XP
-
Uninstall the TI-NSpire software using either the uninstall option in the [TI Tools / <software
flavor>] application menu or the uninstall option in the Control Panel
-
Make sure the user can see hidden files and folders because we’re going to have him
traverse through the Application Data folder which is a hidden folder. If the user were to
type in the path manually, he does not need to change this setting. To open the Folder
Options menu, launch the Windows Explorer and select “Folder Options…” from the Tools
menu.
-
Manually delete the following folders
o <hard disk>\Program Files\TI Education\<software flavor>
This is the application folder which is not removed completely when uninstalling the
software
o
<hard disk>\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\<software flavor>
This is the license and configuration folder which was not automatically removed
during the uninstall procedure
o
<hard disk>\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Application Data\Texas
Instruments\<software flavor>
This contains the log-folders and other app related data
