# Uninstalling tablet drivers

## Overview

Just as they are installed, tablet drivers can also be uninstalled.

Normally, you would only be interested in uninstalling a tablet driver if you don't plan to to use your drawing tablet again. However, uninstalling/re-installing is a common troubleshooting technique so it is useful to be familiar with the process.

## Windows uninstall process

### **Windows**

* Steps
  * Go to **Start** > **Apps** > Installed apps
    * On earlier version of Windowss, search for "Add Remove Programs" and then uninstall apps
  * Locate the applivation for your tablet brand
  * Click on it and select to uninstall
  * The uninstall process may ask you to restart your computer, do that.
  * If you are not asked to restart your compute, after the uninstall process is finished, restart your computer anyway.
* About the needed to restart the computer
  * Uninstalling a driver may require a restart of your system. So, get this out of the way before you proceed with the next steps. Even if a driver uninstalled without asking you to restart. I highly recommend you restart your computer after you uninstall a tablet driver.

### Extended uninstall process

Some tablet drivers leave bits of themselves installed, even after an uninstallation process. To ensure nothing remains, use the [Tablet Driver Cleanup tool](/drawtab/guides/drivers/tablet-driver-cleanup-tool.md).

### Starting the uninstall process from the driver

Even though I normally use the standard operating system methods to start the uninstall process, for some tablet brands, you can launch the uninstall process from the driver app itself.

## MacOS uninstall process

Wacom

* Search for **Wacom Tablet Utility** 
* Under **Tablet Software** click **Uninstall**
