How to completely remove all installation files
Be aware that despite following the procedure above, some CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro files remain on your disk. The remaining data includes some settings, configurations, and log files. You can manually delete them if you need to uninstall the software completely. We strongly recommend keeping those files intact in their original locations, in case you want to install the software again. If you wish to back up your settings so that you can restore them in the future, follow these steps:
-
Export all of your rules by using the Export feature available on the Administration Panel's toolbar, under the Import/Export button. Learn more
- If you modified any configuration files, please create a full copy of the following directory on every machine equipped with the CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro Service:
%ProgramData%\CodeTwo Exchange Rules\Config
On legacy Windows systems, the path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data\CodeTwo Exchange Rules
Warning
It will not be possible to restore your original settings without those files - you will need to recreate all your rules along with all conditions, exceptions, actions, time ranges etc. from scratch.
To proceed with the complete removal, after uninstalling the program from Windows Control Panel, manually delete all folders and files from these paths:
%AppData%\CodeTwo Exchange Rules %LocalAppData%\CodeTwo\CodeTwo.ER.Administrator(...) %ProgramData%\CodeTwo Exchange Rules
Legacy Windows systems
If you still have older Windows systems, delete files from these folders:
%AppData%\CodeTwo Exchange Rules C:\Documents and Settings\All users\Application Data\CodeTwo Exchange Rules C:\Documents and Settings\[User name]\Local Settings\Application Data\CodeTwo\CodeTwo.ER.Administrator(...)
