Uninstalling X-Plane 10

[Scott Miller 12]

How does one uninstall X-Plane 10?  There's no "uninstall option" nor is it listed in the add/remove software button in the control panel...Do you simply delete it off your hard drive?

Hi, Yes you can just DELETE the main X-Plane folder from your drive. If you are just wanting more space on a particular drive you can MOVE the folder to another drive and it will still work fine, remember to update any shortcuts you may be using. As I understand it, X-Plane doesn't modify the system registry at all so you are free to shift the folder to wherever you like. If you're thinking that you wont use it anymore then of course the entire X-Plane folder can be deleted.

Yes, simple-as. If only other sims would follow the same idea.

James & Jude:

Thanks!  I suspected as much.  Just wanted to confirm it before getting rid of Xplane-10.  Installed Xplane-11 on a Win10 system and was amazed at its excellent interface.  Then I went back and took a look at Xplane-10 which I had installed on a WinXP system I still use but had never fired up.  I was stunned at its crude interface.  How anyone able to make any sense out of it is beyond me!  Anyway, thanks again!
