Uninstalling EndNote

To uninstall EndNote:

1. Log in to the machine with administrative rights or as a user with program installation privileges.
2. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings, and then Apps.
3. Scroll down and click on the EndNote application.
4. Click the Uninstall button, then Uninstall again in the confirmation dialog.

We purposely do not remove any EndNote libraries or customized files. You can manually delete these files with File Explorer. Once you are sure you do not want to save any of the files contained in the following folders, you can delete them:

Windows 10 and Windows 11

• Sample Files
  
  C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\EndNote
• Custom Style, Filters, or Connection Files
  
  C:\Users\User Name\Documents\EndNote
• Personal Reference Type Table, Connection Log, Libraries Shared with You, Saved Searches, and Miscellaneous Files
  
  C:\Users\User Name\App Data\Roaming\EndNote
• Registry Settings
  
  Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISI ResearchSoft

Notes: The Windows App Data folder is hidden by default. To show hidden files in Windows, open File Explorer, select View > Options > View and mark the radio button option to Show hidden files, folders, and drives.

Errors made in editing the registry can have serious consequences. If you are not experienced with working in the registry, we suggest you leave the registry settings as they are.
