I have downloaded and installed several versions of Chirp and now my laptop is totally confused. I have an older version that still works fine, but I'd like to get all of the files that relate to chirp, exclusive of the python files required, so I can load the latest version.

Any advice.

My understanding is that technically CHIRP does not need to be installed. The installer version is basically for those that are used to software being "installed". To see what I mean, all you have to do is download the ZIP version, extract it to a convenient location, and then double click the "chirpw" executable file to start CHIRP.

CHIRP also brings Python with it so there is no Python to install or remove.

So if you did install the installer version and you want to uninstall it and make sure it is completely removed, I would do the following...

1 Use the Windows Add/Remove application to uninstall CHIRP. 2 Use the Windows file explorer to remove the CHIRP folder from the "Program File" folder. 3 Use the Windows file explorer to remove the CHIRP folder from the "Roaming" folder.

How to locate the "Roaming folder is explained in the "How To Report Issues" document in the CHIRP wiki area. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_to_report_issues

There will then be no trace of CHIRP. But in your case I assume that you want to install CHIRP again, In that case I would do the following.

1 same as above 2 same as above 3 delete or rename the "chirp.config" file located in the "%APPDATA%\Roaming\CHIRP" folder. 4 install CHIRP using the latest CHIRP daily build installer
