FP98: FrontPage Files Remain After Add/Remove or Uninstall

MORE INFORMATION

To remove all FrontPage Web content from your computer, delete the Content directory after you uninstall FrontPage.

The Uninstall program removes only the following directories and files from the root Web of your content area:

   _vti_bin
   _vti_txt
   center.gif
   index.htm
				

NOTE: When you uninstall FrontPage all of the data you created will not be deleted by the FrontPage Setup program. FrontPage files that were not created by you that remain after you uninstall FrontPage are left to facilitate the reinstallation of FrontPage. The files and folders left behind do not take up much memory.

When FrontPage is uninstalled, all FrontPage components (other than the files and folders in the Content folder) will be removed from your hard disk drive. By default, the content folder is c:\FrontPageWebs\Content, although you can change the name of this folder when you install FrontPage.

The default location for the FrontPage program is one of the following: If you created custom files or folders in these locations, FrontPage will not remove these folders when you uninstall it. Uninstall will clear out system .dll files unique to FrontPage and will clear out all FrontPage registry entries. The following directories and all their contents remain in the root Web of your content area after you uninstall FrontPage 98:

   _private
   _vti_cnf
   _vti_log
   _vti_pvt
   cgi-bin
   images
				

In addition, any SubWebs you create will remain on your hard disk.
