SYMPTOMS
When you start the Add/Remove Programs tool to remove a Briefcase from the computer, you find that Briefcase is not listed on the Windows Setup tab, and so it seems that you cannot completely remove a Briefcase from the computer as you can other Windows components.
CAUSE
Once you have installed Briefcase, Windows excludes Briefcase from the list of components that you can uninstall. Windows does so to prevent data loss.
RESOLUTION
You can still delete any specific Briefcase on your computer by selecting that Briefcase and deleting it as you would delete a folder.
MORE INFORMATION
If Windows enabled you to uninstall a Briefcase, any existing Briefcase on your computer would become inaccessible. For this reason, Windows does not give you the option to uninstall Briefcase.
