During installation, Teradata TARA creates folders and registry entries under Program Files\Teradata\TARA, then copies required files under the folders.

When uninstalling Teradata TARA components, it is important to remove all of the folders and registry entries. This means, in some cases, that manual deletion is necessary in addition to using Windows Add or Remove Programs. The Folders and Registry Entries table lists the folders that are created during installation, the associated registry entries, and information on manually removing files, folders, and registry entries. Typically, manual deletion is necessary if files were manually modified.

To access the registry, do the following:

  1. Select Start > Run > Regedit.
  2. Click OK.
