For Windows 2000 and Windows XP

After that is complete you'll find there is still a lot of Incredimail remnant entries still left in your system.

After completely uninstalling as noted above you need to remove unneeded IncrediMail files and settings. IncrediMail stores data in three locations the User profile, programs directory and the registry. To completely remove IncrediMail you must remove the data from all three locations as follows:

IncrediMail stores user related data in the user profile in the - documents and settings\username\local settings\application data\Im folder where is the name of the user you log on as. Deleting the IM folder will delete all your IncrediMail emails, letters etc if you want to keep them you can rename the folder to IM-old or similar

Incredimail executables etc are stored usually in c:\program files\Incredimail. Navigate to this folder and delete it.
