Removing the Taxonomic Editor

To remove the Taxonomic Editor from your system, locate the folder in which the taxonomic editor.exe file is stored on your system and simply delete the folder. If you cannot find the folder and you are on a windows platform and have created a desktop shortcut to the Editor you can determine the path to the folder by looking at the properties of the shortcut. Do this by right clicking on the shortcut and selecting the properties option from the drop down menu. In the Shortcut tab of the properties window look in the 'Target field' this will reveal the location of the taxonomic editor.

Navigate to the Taxonomic Editor folder and delete it by simply clicking once on the folder and pressing the Delete button on the keyboard. A pop-up box will appear asking "do you really want to delete this folder"; press Return on the keyboard to confirm.

You will also need to delete the .cdmLibrary folder where your local data is stored. The exact location of this folder will depend on your computer system. In order to locate it, run a system search as detailed for different operating systems.
