How do I uninstall widgets

Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:04 pm
The number of widgets in my Add Widgets panel is getting large. There's a button to install a new widget, but how do uninstall a widget once I decide I don't want to use it?

I used the "Install New Widgets" button in the Add Widgets dialog.

If installed via Get New Stuff, Installed packages should now (in 4.2 at least) have an Uninstall option. this isn't overly useful for older widgets because you have to go hunting for them.

for things compiled from C++, you have to manually uninstall them.

we will be providing a widget manager for scripted widgets, however, that will make this all a bit easier for the non-C++ widgets.
