PilatusBox User Help

Uninstalling the desktop application

Before you uninstall the desktop application, you need to make sure you have no remote files in your PilatusBox folder. Since the content of remote files is located on the PilatusBox server, remote files cannot be accessed on your computer once the desktop application is uninstalled.

To ensure that you download all your remote files, do one of these:

  • Deregister and then delete your PilatusBox folder

    For instructions on deregistering the desktop application, see temp_id__xqx_1.html.

  • Save your PilatusBox folder locally

    For instructions on saving a folder locally, see Saving files locally or keeping them remote.

Important

Once the desktop application is uninstalled, you cannot move, rename, or delete any:
  • Remote files in your PilatusBox folder.
  • Folders that contain a remote file. This applies to your PilatusBox folder.

Procedure

  1. Uninstall the application as you would any other application on your Windows computer.
  2. Delete your PilatusBox folder.
    1. In the Windows Start menu, enter Command prompt.
    2. Double-click the Command prompt application.
    3. In the command prompt, enter .
      cd C:/<user-name>/<path-to-folder-containing-desktop-applicatioin-folder>
      For example:
      cd C:/JSMITH/Documents
    4. Enter:
      del <desktop-application-folder>
      For example:
