= SUMMARY =

To delete the Works for Windows program files, choose the Microsoft Works Setup icon or run SETUP.EXE from the MSWORKSdirectory, and choose the Remove All button. Choosing Remove All deletes all the Works 3.0 for Windows files except for the following: - Any new documents saved to the MSWORKS directory or its subdirectories. - Any new subdirectories created by the user. - Any files, such as clip art files, manually copied to the MSWORKS directory or its subdirectories. - Any custom templates created. - The MSWORKS directory and its subdirectories: CLIPART, SAMPLES, SETUP, WKSTMPL, and MSWORKS.CBT. After you choose the Remove All option, the files in these subdirectories will be deleted and you can then manually delete the subdirectories themselves. - The setup files located in the SETUP subdirectory. - The shared program files, such as Spelling and Microsoft Draw, if you choose to remove these files after choosing Remove All.

= MORE INFORMATION =

After choosing Remove All, all of the Works sample files such as WINGLIST.WDB will be deleted, regardless of whether these files have been changed. If you are using these files, make sure you have a backup of them before removing the Works 3.0 installation.
