Hi,

I'd like to uninstall the Autodesk products I used in my engineering degree but the uninstall tool is missing and I cant uninstall through windows add remove programs.

I have Building Design Suite, Product Design Suite and Master Suite 2015.

How do I remove all of these?

Thanks

David

The tool should still in your hard disk, try to find it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Uninstall Tool\R1". Or get the attached file and try to launch the tool.

@EvanGu Same issue as original post. I downloaded the tool, but because I deleted the programs and as many program files as I could using these instructions https://knowledge.autodesk.com/customer-service/download-install/remove-products/remove-windows-products before ever finding out that the tool existed, nothing shows up when I open it. What should I do?

I downloaded your uninstall tool, it runs but it does not find any Autodesk software to uninstall.
