hey there

I uninstalled all the old version of COMSOL over control panel but I still found lotsa old directories

is it safe to delete all of the old ones manually?

Appreciate your advise. Thanks in advance!

Hi

in the ...user/xxx/.comsol you have the usual private settings, as well as by default your private material DB and sometimes a lot of tmp files or backup files.

If you hae saved your material datbase file, if of interest, I would say 99.9% of the content therein can be deleted without thoughts. At most, next time you install COMSOL, you need to redefine your private specific settings (views etc)

Good luck
