    Hello all,
    Sorry, I searched for removal, uninstall, ... and I didn't find any clue for uninstalling SketchUcam from my computer.

    I found the plugin directories inside C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins and, after I disabled the plugin from the preferences, I closed Sketchup and renamed the two phatxxx subdirectories, No warning from Sketchup when I reopened it. This lets me thinking that a simple deletion would do the trick.

    However this way to proceed is probably not the best one. There are other occurrences of the plugin. Please, may somebody provide the procedure to correctly uninstall the extension ?

    Thanks in advance.

    As far as I know there are no other occurrences of the plugin.

    Sketchup provides no way to uninstall plugins, only a way to disable them.
    But if you Google for instructions you will find that simply deleting all the plugins files will uninstall it, this works for any plugin, not just SketchUCam.

    But, why do you want to uninstall it?

    Renaming the folders is not enough, you have to delete the matching .rb files from the plugins folder as well

    Hi guys,
    Thanks a lot for your replies.
    I'm new to sketchup plugins and I wanted to make sure that it would work.
    I first moved the files the plugin 'garage' waiting for replies then deleted them, in fact, there are two plugins sub-directories and 10 files to delete.
    Why do I want to unistall it ? Just because I installed Cambam for other uses and there's a functional doublon.

    kind regards
