Another reason not to put your media in the Legacy program folder. I would think if your media was placed in My Documents under Legacy, the uninstall would leave it alone.
Backup often or get a separate hard drive for your data. I never depend on one hard drive because sometimes they fail. I finally uninstalled Legacy 7.5 last night using the "unwise" method with no problems. I didn't check any of the Windows files and only selected to delete files associated with Legacy.

Unfortunately though, all my very precious media was deleted....permanently...how I am not sure? All I remember is being frustrated that 7.5 was not being deleted properly at first, and then later, finally agreeing to a "delete", bypassing the recycle bin. Still trying to work out how and why :-( Graham Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
