This chapter explains how to remove HP OfficeJet Pro software from your computer. It also explains how to reinstall the software, if necessary.

Uninstalling Software

When you install a software program on your computer, many files on your system are either added or changed because of the new program. When you need to remove a software program, you need to remove all files associated with that program, not just the files you see in a particular program folder. Do not simply remove the executable file from your hard drive. Be sure to “uninstall” it properly, using either the special uninstaller program that came with the product or using the Windows 95/98 “Add/Remove” feature, as instructed below.

NOTE During the uninstall process, if you are asked whether you would like to remove Shared files, answer “No.” Other programs that use these files may not work properly if the files are deleted.
