WIEZZY Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi, I would like to completely remove Prepar3D v2.2 and every single Orbx-related file. I am on my work computer and have installed: FTX Global Base, Vector, and freeware NA packs 1-7 and 13. I already followed the instructions in these threads, which don't help: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/30378-uninstalling-all-orbx-products-a-quick-guide/ http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/63761-ftx-global-uninstaller/ http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/70953-how-to-uninstall-vector/ I have also searched my entire computer for "orbx" and deleted all files with orbx in the name. No help there. What can I do? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 if you have P3d on a separate drive right click and format C or whichever drive letter is applicable, then run CCleaner for the registry entries and you should be in the clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIEZZY Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 If only it were that easy... It is on the same drive as my OS. Why is it so difficult to remove Orbx products? I like them, but they are like a virus when you try to get rid of them. This is extremely frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 to me it looks like you are confusing a few things, but anyways other method, run your P3D setup and select UN-install once done that delete your main P3D folder with all whatever it still contains subsequently run the CCleaner to delete the obsolete registry entries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cporsesran Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Run any remaining ORBX uninstalls you have in Windows Programs from the Control Panel, then manually delete all remaining ORBX files and folders, not forgetting the obscure places like App Data under Users. Then run a good registry cleaner to remove any orphaned references to ORBX. I use CCleaner, AM Registry Cleaner and Jet Registry Cleaner. I find one cleaner often does not find all the orphans. Make sure to backup the registry each time. Once everything is clean, use JRT Junkware Removal Tool to clean your drive, and Defrag. All the utilities I mentioned are free and have performed trouble free for me for years. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIEZZY Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Run any remaining ORBX uninstalls you have in Windows Programs from the Control Panel What do you mean by "remaining ORBX uninstalls"? I have never had any uninstallation EXEs of any kind on my system. to me it looks like you are confusing a few things, What am I confusing?

WIEZZY Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Your method worked. Thanks! I would love to be able to uninstall FTX Global through the "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features" menu in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
