Thread: How do you completely uninstall Boxee?

  1. #1

    Question How do you completely uninstall Boxee?

    I recently did an uninstall, re-install to see if this would help clear up some issues on my Win7 x64 Boxee setup.

    I checked off the box that says to remove all personal data. When I did the re-install, all seemed well. However, when I started Boxee up, I did have to give it my login info., but it still maintained my repository information, and my tv shows selection.

    This in itself didn't bother me too much, but the error message I got after shutting down boxee did. For some reason windows 7 complains says the application may have not installed properly. This usually indicates something didn't complete as expected.

    Are there additional steps needed to do a full uninstall.

    Anyone know why I would get the install error message after running and then shutting down Boxee?

    Regards,

    Mike

    Boxee stores user data in a different folder than the program. To completely remove boxee, you'll need to uninstall, and also delete your UserData folder.

    O.K., I deleted the folder, but Boxee still remembers my TVShows and repositories and I'm still getting the error.

    Are my tvshows and repository choices saved somewhere other than my local HD?

    Yes, new to the beta, Boxee saves your queue and repositories to the cloud.

    i run boxee 0.9.20 on: ubuntu 9.10, windows xp sp3 (virtual machine), windows 7 and a neuros link hacked to all hell.

    what super powers does a 'super mod' have? the 'super ban'... that, and laser vision.
