Technical Notes:
After uninstalling Webroot, it’s possible that some remnants of the software may still be present on the device. To ensure a thorough removal, after the system reboot it’s recommended to delete the WRData and WRCore directories (if present) from ProgramData, a hidden system directory,
To do this:
- Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
- In the Run dialog box, enter %PROGRAMDATA% and press Enter. This will open the ProgramData folder in the File Explorer.
Find and delete the WRD folder in the ProgramData folder.
Note: You may need administrative privileges to delete the WRD folder.
