Hi Guys,

Basic question if i may,I have P3DV5.3 running stable on my system.I now want to uninstall P3Dv4.5 to free up some space.

I will be removing it via the windows control panel,will this leave all P3Dv5 files alone and not remove anything related with v5.

With Thanks,

Gary Jones.

 

 

Hi Gary,

Yes , your v5 install will be unaffected when uninstalling v4.5. Just did that the other day as I moved v5.3 to a new PC and left v4.5 on the old PC.

The only thing is once you uninstall v4.5 via Control Panel, it will only uninstall all the base P3D files, meaning if you had other add-ons installed in additional folders outside the main sim folder, they will be present. Usually uninstallation of the specific add-ons is needed.

Also, there are some (6) P3Dv4 folders that are left in place that require manual removal.

 

For a more detailed description of the uninstal process, take a look here: https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6322&t=125187

Hope that helps.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that,great advice,once again thank you.

Gary.
