How to completely delete a Kontakt library, including all regestry keys etc.

Dear folks,

i am trying to completely delete a bunch of ellegal libraries and registry keys out of a computer. i deleted the library from the disk. I also deleted the registry keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\NATIVE INSTRUMENTS

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Still the SNPID is stored somewhere? What else is stored where, so that I can really totally erase a library and install it fresh?

Please advise,

If they're libraries from Native Instruments you can use this tool to clear the registry etc -

Do the products show in Native Access, if so there's an uninstall option you can access via the three dots on the right of where it shows the product. If none of those work and you're not going to be installing any more illegal software the safest way is to reinstall Windows. Yep that's a pain but at least you end up with a clean system.

If the reg tool referred to by mykejb doesn't do the job then try the forced uninstaller function of the Revo Pro trial

Thank you so much folks! The NI uninstaller worked perfectly! Much appreciated! And I am going to save the Revo trial software as an option for the future. Never knew these tools exist?
