1. Click on the Windows File Explorer() locate the the FSX software you want to uninstall: C:\Program Files (x86)
- PS: Copy and paste C:\Program Files (x86) into the address bar of File Explorer and hit enter if having issues locating it as it will take you straight into Program Files (x86) folder.
2. Locate the uninstaller that should be named "unins000" or for those with "File name extensions" ticked on under "View" option you will see "unins000.exe". Try running the uninstaller. Pictured below is from FSX Play but some of our other software uses the same name.
If it does not run make sure it is named unins000 and rename it as such. If that does not work or the uninstaller missing, then delete the entire software folder.
For FSX 2020 or Play you can save your course folder to save some time having to download and install each course.
