When you uninstall software, the registry keys left on your software can conflict with the reinstallation. So a clean install can help you to avoid any such problems.
Steps to uninstall QuickBooks Desktop
Before you use the tool, you need to uninstall QuickBooks Desktop from your windows so that all program files are deleted before you clear Quickbooks from the registry.
Note that, while uninstalling QuickBooks does not delete your company file, creating a backup of your company file is still highly recommended so that you can recover your data if anything goes wrong.
Let’s begin with the uninstallation. To uninstall Quickbooks Desktop:
- Go to the start menu and click on the control panel.
- Click on programs and features, then uninstall a program.
- Choose QuickBooks from the provided list of programs.
- Right-click on QuickBooks desktop and choose to uninstall/change.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall QuickBooks and click on finish once the process is over.
Restart your system so that the files currently in use can be cleared. Log in once again to an admin account so that you can install the QuickBooks tool hub which contains the clean install tool.
