Re: [libreoffice-users] OpenOffice Total Uninstall from Windows 7

Hi :)
If you uninstall the program then the User Profile is left on the machine so that it's ready to be 
picked-up when you install a different version of LibreOffice.  

If you remove the User Profile then all your settings, templates, galleries, Extensions/Add-ons are 
removed and if you run the LibreOffice program after that then a fresh new User Profile is created. 
 

If you uninstall the program and then delete the User Profile then all that will remain is files, 
folders and short-cuts that you have created will remain.  

You could always do a files search to find everything with LO or LibreOffice in the title.  

For such file-operations can i recommend trying SliTaz, particularly the new 4.0 version.  It's 
likely to be faster to download, burn onto Cd, reboot into a LiveCd (runs from ram rather than from 
the hard-drive or from the Cd) and then do the file-search from there.  Windows is notoriously slow 
at file-operations although i have been told that a fresh install of Win7 is almost as good as 
slower Gnu&Linux.  A Gnu&Linux distro wont hamper the operation by refusing to delete files that 
the main user doesn't have permission to tamper with.  

Note that if i took pictures with 1 camera and then bought a new one and uninstalled the old-one's 
program in order to install the program for the newer one then i would be a bit annoyed if all my 
photographs, logos and posters got removed!  or if short-cuts to my photos, logos and posters got 
removed!  

Regards from
Tom :)

A Windows 7 Home Edition laptop carries old OpenOffice files.  There is no
uninstaller that I found.  I want to install LibreOffice cleanly.  How can I
first remove all trace of OpenOffice?  Does LibreOffice offer documentation on
the subject?
