MATLAB Installation Guide for Windows

Running the Uninstaller

In the Uninstall Product List dialog box, select the products you want to remove by clicking the check box next to their names.

Note    If you remove MATLAB, you automatically remove all other MathWorks products.

By default, the uninstaller does not remove your MATLAB preference files. If you want to remove these files, click the Uninstall MATLAB preferences check box. For more information about preference files, see Saving Your MATLAB Preferences.

The uninstaller leaves the MATLAB installation directory on your system, empty except for the \uninstall subdirectory and the \work subdirectory, if it contains files. To completely remove a MATLAB installation, you must delete these directories. You may want to move any M-files you created in the \work directory to another directory before deleting it.

When you run the uninstaller, it may display a dialog box, asking if you want to remove the mwsamp.ocx file. This file is an ActiveX control that is registered as a shared file during the MATLAB installation. You can remove this file.
