Uninstalling 3ds Max

Use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall individual product components.

Note: Remember that some peripherals, such as the Material Library, are shared across products. Don't remove them unless you intend to remove all Autodesk products.
Note: All components are uninstalled when 3ds Max is uninstalled; however, should you wish to uninstall individual components, you are able to do so for select components using Add or Remove Programs.

For detailed workflows on how to uninstall Autodesk software, see Remove Autodesk software.

To uninstall:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, open the Control Panel and select Uninstall a Program.
  2. Select Uninstall for each peripheral or program you want to remove.
    Note: Uninstall peripherals such as plugins before uninstalling the main program.
  3. Restart your computer if prompted.
