Uninstalling

[Anonymous]

I recently have been trying to uninstall Autocad from my computer and all the other side apps that come along with it. I have unistalled the main Autocad and Autodesk apps from my computer but Autodesk App manager 2016-2017, AutoDesk AutoCAD Performance Feedback tool 1.2.5, Autodesk BIM 360 Glue Autocard 2017 Add-in 64 bit, Autodesk feature Apps 2016-2017, Autodesk Material Library 2017, and Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution image library 2017 won't uninstall.  Every time I try to and error messages shows up and says 'Windows cannont access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.' I also tried going to the file to change the permissions in the properties but that isn't even showing up either.

Hello @Anonymous

Using Autodesk Uninstall Tool to remove the installed applcations, is a much more simpler and reliable way.

This tool gets installed along with the AutoCAD installer. From the StartMenu, type "Uninstall Tool" and this tool will be listed. Click the shortcut for the tool and the tool launches. This tool lists all the installed Autodesk products in the users machine.

We can select the products to uninstall and click "Uninstall" button. We can see that all these products gets removed sequentially. 

Please give it a try.

Here, I have provided a sample of this tool's output
