Removing (Uninstalling) the COMSOL Installation

To remove a COMSOL installation from your system, you can uninstall using the COMSOL Installer’s uninstallation option. The uninstaller deletes all old version COMSOL files and directories on the system that were installed by the COMSOL installer. Additional files and folders created after installation are not removed.

If COMSOL is run with MATLAB, close MATLAB before starting the uninstaller. If MATLAB is active, the utility cannot remove certain files.

You can start the COMSOL Uninstaller in a few different ways:

•	From the Windows Start Menu, open the Control Panel and select Uninstall a program. Find COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a in the list and select Uninstall.

•	From the Windows Start Menu under COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a, select Uninstall.

•	Insert the COMSOL DVD and start the COMSOL Uninstaller. Click Uninstall COMSOL 5.2a to start removing the installation. Click Finish to quit the installer when the uninstallation is complete.

•	In Windows 8 and later, go to the All apps page and click the COMSOL Launchers folder. In that folder you find the option to uninstall.
