3. If you are having licensing issues, you can remove the licensing storage file as well. If you are not dealing with licensing errors, removing this file may be unnecessary. Remove the Trusted Storage file (Licensing) located in these areas:

• C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\adskflex_########_tsf.data.backup

4. Delete any residual Program Files from these locations:

• C:\Program Files\Autodesk\
• C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\
• C:\Users\All Users\Autodesk\
• C:\Users\**YOUR USERID**\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\
• C:\Users\**YOUR USERID**\AppData\Local\Autodesk\

The program folders should be clearly named.

   1. Click the Windows Start button.
   2. In the Run box type %TEMP% and press Enter
