Deleting a User

You can delete a user when you no longer need the associated preferences. You can delete users from previous versions.

NoteYou cannot delete the currently loaded user. The currently loaded user is indicated in the User box in the Preferences menu by a light blue LED to the left of its name.

To delete a user:

1. Display the User menu by doing one of the following:
   - On start-up, select the user you want to delete from the User box and then click Edit.
   - In the middle of a session, click Preferences in the Main menu, select the user you want to delete from the User box, and then click Edit.
2. Select Delete User from the User Edit box.

   If you delete a user that has shared preferences, the preferences directory is not deleted from the filesystem. The preferences directory is deleted only if no other user shares the preferences.

   TipTo exit the User menu without deleting the user, click Exit User.
3. Click Delete User and confirm.

   You are returned to the Project Management or Preferences menu.
