JD4 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I just purchased Affinity Designer, now I have both the trial and purchased version on my iMac. How do I uninstall the trial, does it disappear on its own? I've searched both Apple Support and your forum for an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted May 18, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi JD4, Just simply drag the trial version's icon onto your Trash and it will be removed :) Hope to see you around the forums soon - there's lots of helpful people and great sources of tips and inspiration! :) Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanGo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 This didn't work for me. I can't drag the icon to the trash. Any other way to uninstall the trial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 24, 2015 Hi EvanGo, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) You have to drag the icon from the Applications folder to the Trash, otherwise it will not work.

Lanza Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Does this drag method remove all the associated trial folders that are no longer needed too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymama Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Dragging it to the recycle bin doesn't work for me either. Any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barninga Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 as far as i know, the affinity photo and designer application icons "work" the same way as any other application icon. you can move them forth and back from any folder to the trash... unless you don't have write privileges for the folder where you placed the app, but in this case the finder should ask for an admin name/password. it is also possible that the finder prevents you to trash the app if it is running. check that you closed the app before trashing the icon.

B-Enterprises Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 MEB, We purchased Designer and Photo. How does one uninstall the expired Designer and Photo Trials from Windows 7? When I use "Open with" in the contextual menu, it has the trial versions listed, but does not differentiate between the two. Can't tell which one is the trial. See attachment. Also, they're all listed under the "General" tab of file properties, and I don't see a way of removing them in order to reestablish "Open with" file type. See attachment. Can the apps folders be deleted from the hard disk's "Program Files" folder, or would that cause a bunch of havoc on a Windows system?

Staff MEB Posted February 24, 2017 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi B-Enterprises, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No don't delete the applications directly from the Program Files folder. To uninstall Affinity applications go to the Control Panel (you can search for it in the Windows Start menu), click Uninstall a program link below the Programs section title, then double-click the application you want to uninstall (one at a time). I'm installing the trial here to check the name issue but it should be correctly identified (as Affinity Designer Trial) when uninstalling the apps (or from the menus).

B-Enterprises Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 MEB, v-kyr, Got it. Uninstalled the trial versions. They are no longer listed in the contextual menu. Thank you for the assistance. Genuinely, B-Enterprises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
