I moved some things around,

I see the KDENlive files in my App Data of my User profile on disk C.

When I try to UNinstall, I get the message

"You have
Access to the path is denied.
running in C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\kdenlive.
Select "Yes" to kill the process(es), "No" to retry or "Cancel" to quit.

How do I uninstall the program? Please help.

I wish to unstall this so that I can try to reinstall and see if the program works. I installed it, and when I would open the program, I would have nothing but a black program with two gray boxes where the screens are supposed to be.

My project files are strange to open.

I am trying to edit a video project across two platforms, on my laptop with Linux Mint, (running the program from an executable file) and on my desktop, which is on Windows7.

I tried to do this project on another open-source software, but it would crash on my laptop/Linux.

So I tried kdenlive so that I can edit my project on both operating systems, but I am having this uninstall issue.

Thank you,

AFAIK, kdenlive doesn't create registry entries that are super important or would negatively affect the registry if they were to stay behind a manual uninstall.

Having said this, you can simply delete any kdenlive folder in C:\Program Files (or wherever you installed kdenlive), C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local (AppData is a hidden folder, and you also need to delete all files kde*.* in ..\Appdata\Local), and in C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Roaming

Thanks for your reply. I unhid the AppData folder to get to it.

The folder doesn't delete in Local >

Close the folder or file and try again'

outside of that folder in the 'Local' folder there are two files: kdenlive-layoutsrc and kdenliverc, which I was able to delete.
I also deleted the kdenlive folder in AppData > Roaming.

In this case check in Task Manager whether a kdenlive process is still running. Kill them and try again. There is a thread about that behavior here in the forum (https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=265&t=142662#p383247). It is about an older version of kdenlive and AFAIK it was solved in newer versions but still might help you.

Hi! I wanted to add that I have the exact same problem on my windows 10. I wanted to install 21.04, and you're supposed to uninstall the previous one, and when i try to delete the folder it says it's in use but it's not in the task manager. I've been meaning to restart my computer to try then, but i always have tons of stuff i don't want to close...

the "dbus-daemon.exe" need to be killed on taskmgr also.

That worked, thanks!
