Uninstall should (offer to) remove old settings and config #842
Comments
I tried deleting: That wasn't enough. All my settings were back. |
FancyZones is still using the registry for its settings, in RegEdit search for |
Not terribly familiar with the "registry editor". For one, I don't know where the search-function is. |

Is this the only Registry entry people have to delete? I also noticed Power Toys does not clean up after itself, when uninstalling. Old settings are used when installing again. Pretty sloppy, if you ask me. Still the case after removing 0.19.1: folder |
Can we have a manual solution to the complete removal of PT in the meantime? This can have unintended consequences in bug-fixed future versions if legacy settings persist. |

It makes sense to me, but the best thing would be if the (un)installer knows the difference between uninstalling during an update, and uninstalling to actually remove. |

@yuyoyuppe with upgrading moving back to proper upgrading, an uninstall should be able to fully remove settings now. Is #10126 tracking this item? |
Yes, that's correct. I've added this request as a comment there. |

uninstalled 0.13, rebooted, installed 0.14
When I pressed win+` for the first time I saw my old profiles and "space around zones"-settings.
An uninstaller must either just remove all old settings/make it a checkbox-option to do so/point towards a folder I can delete, to do so myself. Everything else is just brutish and nasty.
Omitting this wholesale is especially rude towards beta-testers.
If I wanted to make sure that certain bugs, behaviours and issues actually are fixed now, I would want to do this from a fresh install. Without any of my old workarounds and coerced-by-bug settings (like me setting "space around zones" to 0).
Now I'm forced to figure out where PowerToys stores its settings. Uninstall again.
Delete those settings and reinstall.
