SOLIDWORKS: Performing a Clean Uninstall
On the rare occasion that you need to fully remove SOLIDWORKS, you will want to carefully and precisely follow the procedure detailed in this document. This need is considered “rare” because in most situations, SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager can complete upgrades cleanly. This procedure will be useful for anyone wishing to manually scrub a machine for repurposing, or for corrupt installs not resolved with a repair, therefore requiring a complete re-install of the software and all related components.
Access Programs and Features through Windows Control Panel
Select the SOLIDWORKS application that you wish to remove and choose Uninstall. When the Installation Manager launches, you will see a Windows reboot message. Select OK to Continue the installation.
(Note: If the application you wish to uninstall does not show up in Programs and Features, see the end of this document).
Choose Product
Choose which SOLIDWORKS products to uninstall by checking the correlating box. Next to Advanced Options towards the bottom of the Installation Manager window, choose CHANGE.
Select Items to Uninstall
Under Advance Options, choose to remove: Program Files and Folders, Registry Entries, Data and File Folders, and Download Files and Folders. Select back to Summary.
Review Summary
Reboot if Necessary
When you continue the uninstall process, you will be prompted that a reboot may be necessary. Click Yes to Continue.
Complete Uninstall
SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager will alert you when the uninstall process is complete. Click OK.
(Note: If the uninstall process does not complete successfully, see the end of this document).
Remove any Registry Locations that Remain
Next, we will want to manually go through and remove (or rename and delete later) any registry locations that remain. To access Windows Registry Editor, begin typing ‘regedit’ in the Windows search on your task bar. Choose to Run as administrator.
Note: Prior to making any changes to the registry, it is a good idea to create and save a backup. Go to File – Export in the Registry Editor. Save your backup*.reg file so that you can easily find it if necessary.
Delete Entries
Navigate to and Delete (or rename to *_old and delete later) the following registry entries if they exist:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Dassault Systemes\Composer
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\eDrawings
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\srac
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dassault Systemes\Composer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\eDrawings
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Srac
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\SolidWorks
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Dassault Systemes\Composer
Remove File Locations
Next, we will want to manually remove any file locations that remain. Navigate to and Delete the following file folders if they exist:
C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp
C:\Program Files (x86)\SOLIDWORKS Corp
C:\Program Files (x86)\SOLIDWORKS PDM
C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS
C:\ProgramData\SOLIDWORKS Electrical
C:\SOLIDWORKS Data
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\SolidWorks
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\SOLIDWORKS
***If you are scrubbing your computer to repurpose, restart your PC now. The SOLIDWORKS clean uninstall process is complete***
Uninstall Prerequisite Components
If you are planning to reinstall SOLIDWORKS and you suspect that is some corruption of pre-reqs may be causing you some issues or instability, you will want to uninstall all prerequisite components as well. They are as follows:
- Bonjour
- All Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (this will likely be multiple versions, as old as 2005)
- All Microsoft VSTA (Visual Studio Tools for Applications)
Restart Computer
Once all prerequisite programs have been successfully removed, restart your computer.
Begin Clean Installation
You are now ready to begin your clean SOLIDWORKS installation. For assistance with installing, see SOLIDWORKS Technical Guides under SUPPORT at MLC-CAD.com
EXCEPTIONS YOU MAY ENCOUNTER
If the SolidWorks application you wish to uninstall does not show up in the list of installed Programs, or if the uninstall process fails through the installation manager, you will want to use this Windows troubleshooting tool to individually remove each program until they are all gone:
Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed (microsoft.com)
In some cases, the process may seem to hang. If you are uncertain that the FixIt Tool is still running, be sure to check your task manager. The process may take as long as overnight to run completely and successfully. If the process does hang indefinitely or is Not Responding, kill the process after a couple of hours and launch the tool again. The application was likely successfully removed. Alternatively, if it was not, and the Microsoft tool that is designed to fix uninstall issues fails, it often means that an OS reformat is required.

If you need to uninstall SOLIDWORKS, this guide walks through the entire process including preparing your machine and uninstalling Windows items, SOLIDWORKS items, SOLIDWORKS prerequisites, and more. Let’s get started.
*Disclaimer: This document assumes that SOLIDWORKS was originally installed using the default locations. If our installation location for SOLIDWORKS differs, please adjust the procedure below accordingly. The procedure in the following document requires access and edits to the Windows registry. Any such edits are done at your own risk and should only be attempted under the advisement of your IT professional. If you are uncomfortable with following the procedure below, please seek assistance. It is advised to backup your registry and any valued data before making any changes to the system registry. GoEngineer assumes no responsibility for any consequences, unintended or otherwise resulting from changes made to the system registry.
Preparing your machine
Confirm and create backup
Copy Settings Wizard (CSW) or Manual Registry Export
- If the machine has multiple users. Run it for each user while they are logged in and setup a file naming convention like “SWSettings_UserName_Date.sldreg”.
- If the machine just has one user, then you can just create one file to hold all settings for example “SWSettings_Date.sldreg”
- For Manual Registry Export, go to the search bar and type in regedit.exe then press Enter. Depending on how your IT department has your permissions setup you may have to get one of them involved for this step.
- Once in the registry editor, navigate to the following keys, right-click on them and select Export. Then name them according to the file name suggested under each one.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks
- HKCU_SWX_UserName.reg
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks
- HKLM_SWX_UserName.reg
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SolidWorks
- HKLM_6432_SWX_UserName.reg
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks
- Backup all customizations like document templates, sheet formats, toolbox databases, weldment profiles, design library, etc.
- You can go to System Options | File Locations within SOLIDWORKS to verify the locations of any customizations. Note: Any files in custom locations will not be removed during uninstallation, but ones in any of the default folders will so make sure and double check this step.
- Create a restore point and/or backup of your system.
Items needed
- Obtain Software either via download from the customer portal or DVD. It is recommended that you obtain the latest service pack for the version you are planning to install.
- Local Admin rights/permissions on the machine. Domain admin will not suffice.
- For SA licenses you will need the serial number(s). For SNL you will need the serial number and license server name in this format “25734@ServerName”.
Uninstalling
Windows Items
- Disable UAC (User Account Control) by moving the slider to the lowest setting.
- Disable any Anti-Viral or Malware software if permitted. You may have to get IT involved in this step.
SOLIDWORKS Items
- Transfer License (For SA only, and only if you are moving machines or upgrading to a different major version)
While in SOLIDWORKS, go to the Help menu and select “Deactivate License”. This will bring up the SOLIDWORKS Product Activation dialog.
Then click the “Select All” button and click Next. Finally, you will see a completion dialog showing the activations were transferred successfully.
- Uninstall SOLIDWORKS via these steps below.
- Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features. Select SOLIDWORKS 20XX SPX and then click Uninstall at the top of the list.
- This will open the SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager to the Summary page. Then select “Change” to the right of the Advanced Options section.
- In the dialog that comes up select the boxes for the items you want to have removed from the system. If you have multiple versions installed and you are not uninstalling the latest version some boxes will not be available.
- Click “Back to Summary”, then click “Remove Items” to start the uninstallation process.

The Uninstallation Process
To completely uninstall SolidWorks from your computer, follow these steps:
Step 1: Backup Your Data
