Uninstalling
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative A: By Script**
|
||||
|
||||
Open the folder where you keep the novelWriter files, and double-click the file named
|
||||
``uninstall_windows.bat``. This should open a command line window and run the setup script to
|
||||
remove the main dependency packages and remove desktop and start menu icons.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
If you downloaded the full source package, the file may be in the ``setup`` subfolder.
|
||||
|
||||
If you plan to also remove Python from your system, you must run this command first, as it needs
|
||||
Python in order to run the commands.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Due to limitations with the ``pip`` installer, dependencies of the dependencies will not be
|
||||
removed, only the ones the setup script directly installed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative B: Manual Uninstallation**
|
||||
|
||||
Like for the install process, the script just runs two commands. You can of course run them
|
||||
yourself if you wish. They are:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
python setup.py win-uninstall
|
||||
pip uninstall -r requirements.txt
