Uninstall | Renpy =link=

The first thing to understand about uninstalling Ren'Py is that it typically does not come with a traditional installer or an uninstaller executable. On Windows, there is no entry in the "Add or Remove Programs" list; on macOS, no drag-to-Trash removal from the Applications folder will suffice. Instead, Ren'Py operates as a self-contained, portable application. This design choice is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it means that uninstalling is as simple as deleting the folder where Ren'Py resides. On the other hand, users accustomed to automated uninstallers may feel uncertain about whether they have removed every trace of the program.

To "uninstall" the Ren'Py engine, you do not use a standard uninstaller; instead, you simply where you extracted it.
