metatrader not uninstalling
When I use the uninstall feature with metatrader, then reboot, then reinstall the following happens. After I install and start metatrader my old profiles and some custom indicators are still in my files, even the last settings from my previous backtest, this leads me to beleive that I did not get a "clean" uninstall. My broker has verified that they do not save any settings on there server side.
Please advise
thank you
Just manually delete the installation directory before reinstalling.
I am logged in as admin. I hit delete on the actual folder in c/....., it then asks permission and I accept, it then ask to continue (vista bs) so i hit continue, it proceeds but then stops and says I do not have permission.

ok worked, mt4 was open, ill try to get a real install now, will see
All profiles, settings, indicators etc. are saved in the sub-folders inside the main MT4 installation folder (usually it's in "c:\program files\metatrader - broker_name\..."). Deleting it should delete everything.
yes, but in my case after i delete and re-install, upon installation it pulls the settings from the previous install. This may seem unusual or I do ont know what Im doing but I've serched other forums and even asked my current programmer and no one knows whats going on. Ive been trading for over 2 years with MT4 and have never had this issue before. The only change now is I'm on a newly built PC and using vista64.
