preference files are stored in a system folder that is associated with
a particular user. To find where your preferences are located, use the
pref dir command at the MATLAB prompt, as in the following example.
prefdir
ans =
C:\lVINNT\Profiles\username\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2006b
where username is the usemame ofthe person performing the uninstall.
By default, the uninstaller does not delete these preference files. If you
want to remove these files, select the Uninstall MATLAB preferences
check box. When you make this selection, the uninstaller deletes the
contents of your MATLAB preferences folder.
5 To proceed with the removal, click the Uninstall button.
The uninstaller leaves the MATLAB installation folder on your system,
empty except for the \uninstall folder, the \work folder if it contains files,
and, if you downloaded product updates, an \ archives folder that contains
the download archive files. To completely remove a MATLAB installation,
you must delete these folders yourself You might want to move any M-files
you created in the \work folder to another folder before deleting it.
Running the Uninstaller Noninteractively
You can run the uninstaller noninteractively. In this mode, you create an
uninstaller initialization file, specifying the root folder of the installation you
want to remove and the products you want to remove.
To run the uninstaller noninteractively, perform these steps:
1 Create an uninstaller initialization file.
The MathWorks provides a template for this file, named uninstaller. ini,
located in the uninstall folder in your MATLAB installation folder. Make
a copy of this template file, giving it any name you want.
copy matiabroot\uninstall\uninstaller.ini
C:\temp\my_uninstall.ini
