Removing Add-in Generated Files on Uninstall

[contactGT56Z]

Hello,

I have developed a Revit add-in that generates a txt file during its execution. The issue I am facing is that this file remains on the system after the add-in is uninstalled. Since the installer is built by Autodesk for the App Store, I do not have direct control over the uninstallation process.

I would like to know:

• What is the recommended approach for ensuring that files generated during the add-in's execution are removed upon uninstallation?
• Are there any best practices for handling this within the Revit API?
• Should I explicitly delete the file within my add-in code when Revit closes, or is there another preferred method?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance 😉

The Revit API does not provide any functionality related to this task, nor does it recommend any solution. Personally, I would recommend adhering to standard .NET and Windows OS best practice.
