  Removing a MapSpeller™ Installation

Users may want to uninstall the MapSpeller software, for example if:

• Their licenses have expired and they have decided not to renew them
• They want to install a newer version of the extension.

Removing the MapSpeller software is done using the standard Windows program removal procedure. The Windows Control Panel (Window's Start button > Settings > Control Panel) contains either an Add or Remove Programs icon (Windows XP) or a Programs and Features icon (Windows Vista or Windows 7). Opening that icon will bring a list of installed programs, including MapSpeller For ArcGIS and an interface to remove those programs from the computer.

This will not remove the small licensing and user preference files or personal dictionaries or locationaries, making it easy to install updates without having to reenter this information.

Should users also want to remove some or all of their personal data files, they should use Windows Explorer to navigate to the directory below and delete such files.

The personal data files for user XYZ are located:

• In Windows XP in: C:\Documents and Settings\XYZ\Application Data\Edgetech America\MapSpeller
• In Windows Vista or Windows 7 in: C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Roaming\Edgetech America\MapSpeller

To see these folders in Windows Explorer, the latter should be set to show hidden files.
