Well… I ran the L8 uninstaller. It left behind C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy8 folder containing 1919 files, 82 folders with a total size of 138MB. That’s the same size as the new installation. The My Documents\Legacy Family Tree folder was also left behind and the same size as the new installation. There were also numerous Registry entries left behind. I reversed those and deleted the folders and contents, including the C:\Legacy folder that I now know was left after uninstalling L7. I realize that uninstalling a program often leaves files and Registry entries, but what I found goes beyond a ‘conservative’ uninstall.

I forgot to uninstall L7 before installing L8. I was hoping to easily have a ‘do over’. But, I think it best to do it the ‘right way’ rather than the easiest.
