Removing U3 From Flash Drive

If your like me. When you buy a flash drive you just want to put stuff on it. Don't get me wrong, U3 looks like it might be cool to help people manage files and run programs, but I don't want that.

Removal:

When you put the drive in the USB port it will launch U3 automatically. Click on the U3 symbol in your system tray to bring up the U3 menu.

Choose Help and Support. This will bring up and allow you to select the uninstall menu item.

This sends you to the U3.com site where they ask you if you really want to uninstall their program.

Selecting the "Remove Launchpad" link will take you to the page where they give you the option to tell them why your removing it. Fill this out if you want, but I just click on "No Thanks, Continue"

Almost there. Select the "Download the Uninstall Application" , Save or just Run the file now. You'll be asked to accept that any data on the drive will be lost during the removal process. So, make sure your data has been copied from the drive.


Bob's your uncle after that.
