This page provides details on the V-Ray for SketchUp uninstall process.


Overview


The V-Ray installer automatically uninstalls any previous versions of V-Ray. Uninstalling V-Ray for SketchUp does not uninstall the Chaos Cloud Client, Chaos Cosmos Browser, Chaos License Server, Chaos Unified Login and V-Ray Swarm. These can be uninstalled separately if needed. 



Uninstall



If you need to manually uninstall V-Ray, make sure that SketchUp or V-Ray components are not in use. Go to Windows Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > V-Ray for SketchUp > Uninstall V-Ray for SketchUp or C:\Program Files\Chaos\V-Ray\V-Ray for SketchUp\uninstall\Uninstall.Ink.

This starts the V-Ray uninstaller. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove V-Ray from your system and restore any files overwritten by the installation.


After the uninstallation is complete, you can check C:\Program Files\Chaos\V-Ray\V-Ray for SketchUp and %AppData%\Chaos\V-Ray for SketchUp for any leftover files.


For versions prior to V-Ray 7, the paths are:

C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\V-Ray for SketchUp\uninstall\Uninstall.Ink

 C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\V-Ray for SketchUp

%AppData%\Chaos Group\V-Ray for SketchUp 


If you need to manually uninstall V-Ray, make sure that the SketchUp application is closed. Double-click the Uninstaller.app program, which is normally located in /Applications/Chaos/V-Ray/V-Ray for SketchUp/uninstall.

This starts the V-Ray uninstaller. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove V-Ray from your system and restore any files overwritten by the installation.


After the uninstallation is complete, you can check Applications/Chaos/V-Ray/V-Ray for SketchUp/ and ~/.Chaos/V-Ray for SketchUp/ for any leftover files.




For versions prior to V-Ray 7, the paths are:

/Applications/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/V-Ray for SketchUp/uninstall

Applications/ChaosGroup/V-Ray/V-Ray for SketchUp/

~/.ChaosGroup/V-Ray for SketchUp/
