Hello,

I installed WinRAR without really knowing when....
I have many files (photos, music....).
I just realized that the trial version has expired and I do not wish to purchase the full version.
How can I uninstall it and keep my folders (compressed I imagine).
Thank you.
Have a nice weekend.

Dominique

    Hello,
    Uninstalling Winrar will only remove Winrar. To continue opening your compressed files and folders, use 7-zip (free).

    Hello;

    You can easily uninstall this application and instead install the free 7-Zip >> Available here which will do the same "job"
    Looking forward to your comments, but if none >> Subject resolved

    Hello Bazfile

    Thank you for your response; I thought we needed to retrieve the files first!
    You understood that, I’m not very familiar with these different software....
    Furthermore, working with a trial version bothers me.
    Thanks again, and since we're still here, have a great weekend.

    Hello Jmarion3

    Thank you very much for your advice and the link.
    I wanted to avoid losing my files, but I'm relieved....
    I had to install WinRAR in a hurry without taking the time to read, and even if I had read it, the novice that I am doesn't understand everything.
    Alright, let's go, I'm getting to work.

    Thanks again and have a great weekend.
