Use the following procedure to totally clean a Calman installation from a computer:

Note:
If you are uninstalling Calman with the intent to reinstall onto the same Windows installation, you can skip steps 1 and 4. This will preserve your license data, and you will not have to reactivate Calman

  1. On the Calman (main menu) > Licensing screen, click the Deactivate button. See this article for steps to deactivate
  2. Uninstall Calman in Control Panel / Programs and Features.
  3. Delete Calman directories.

      • \Documents\Portrait Displays\Calman for Calman Home and Calman 2020
    2. Delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\SpectraCal\Calman directory, if it exists.
      • C:\Program Files (x86)\Portrait Displays\Calman for Calman Home and Calman 2020
    3. Delete the C:\ProgramData\SpectraCal\Calman directory, if it exists.
      • C:\ProgramData\Portrait Displays\Calman for Calman home and Calman 2020
      • To view the Program Data directory, you may need to make hidden folders visible on your computer:
        1. Go to Control Panel / Folder Options / View tab
        2. Under “Hidden files and folders,” select Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
  4. Delete Calman Registry folders.
