Uninstall AutoCAD
 
 
 

When you uninstall AutoCAD, all components are removed. This means that even if you've previously added or removed components, or if you've reinstalled or repaired AutoCAD, the uninstall removes all AutoCAD installation files from your system.

To uninstall AutoCAD

  1. Click the Start menu Programs or All Programs Autodesk <AutoCAD> <AutoCAD>.
  2. Then, do one of the following:
    • (Windows XP) In the Add or Remove Programs window, select AutoCAD, then click Change/Remove.
    • (Windows Vista) In the Uninstall or Change a Program window, select AutoCAD, then click Uninstall/Change.

    The AutoCAD Installation wizard re-opens in Maintenance mode.

  3. Click Uninstall.
  4. On the Uninstall <AutoCAD> page, click Next to remove AutoCAD from the system.
  5. When informed that the product has been successfully uninstalled, click Finish.
NoteEven though AutoCAD is removed from your system, the software license remains. If you reinstall AutoCAD at some future time, you will not have to register and re-activate the program.
