Re: Tip for fully uninstalling RDi

I'd be cautious about clearing out these directories with RDi installed,
since you might not be able to tell for sure what's active. I like to
uninstall, and then I'm pretty sure I can purge stuff. I had a momentary
panic when I saw how much was in .ecplise deleting, as I recalled that
Lotus Notes is also based on Eclipse, but Notes appears to work fine.

Interesting! I looked in C:\Users\hambevm\.eclipse and found something
related to Data Studio - I have removed that application from my laptop,
but there is still junk out there - or is it part of one of either RDP
8.5.1 or RDI 9.0?

It seems it was put in there after I installed 8.5.1 and before 9.0 - so
can it be deleted?

I also see a Data Studio directory under IBM in AppData.

As to RD?, in Roaming I see a Rational directory - maybe that's the one
you saw, Darren.

I rather hate these remnants!

This caused all kinds of havoc with plugins and I had some instability in
my preferences. The instability was that even in a new workspace, the

preferences were retained somehow. After uninstalling, I found some

extra

folders in C:\Users\Darren\.eclipse that I deleted. There was also
something in C:\User\Darren\AppData\Roaming\IBM that I don't recall, but

I

remember thinking it was RDi related. So, for a fresh install, you might
want to take care of directories like that, if you find them.
