Uninstall steps?

状元
I thought I removed everything from Beta 6 before installing Beta 7, but B7 showed the flashcards I had imported into B6 and didn't require a keyfile.

Is there a post/web page with uninstall steps for the Beta?

Do the files in the internal flash memory (called "BUILTIN" folder by File Z - not "Internal" folder) need to be removed before installing a new beta? Below is the list of files that are there after beta 7 install - some are dated from when I installed previous betas. Should they all be left there or do any need to be removed and/or should all be removed before beta 8?

In BUILTIN main.folder
............PlecoFlash.pqb,84.0.k...............................................(9/13/08).at.beta.7.install

In BUILTIN / PALM_DM.folder
............Pleco%202_80000000,1.48.m.......................................(9/13/08).at.beta.7.install

Yep, a step by step of what you need to get rid of would be handy for people
who've installed version X beta and now want to install beta 8 (when it's out)

That document would of course be a beta of the document needed for when
we have the full release. :D

It'll save quite a few people a lot of agro and allow people to get onto beta 8
to give you some more feedback (not me alas, 6 day work weeks for a few more weeks).

Cheers,
Malc.

The latest version of the WM installer program (debuting whenever we do another full beta release) includes an uninstall option, so that should make it easy to delete the B7 files for WM users. With Palm you basically just want to delete everything with a PLEN creator code, which should happen automatically if you delete the "Pleco" item in the "Delete" screen. The files in PALM_DM can be ignored, those are actually managed by Palm OS and will be deleted through the Delete screen along with the other files.
