How to uninstall Quanto Original

In what cases do you NOT NEED to uninstall?

  • Upgrading Quanto Original

    Normally, there is no need to uninstall Quanto Original before upgrading it.

  • Unable to apply default layout after initializing Quanto Original, or even launch Rainmeter

    In this case, what you need to do is to launch Rainmeter's Safe Layout (by holding down the "Crtl" key and opening Rainmeter) without having to uninstall Quanto Original.

Before uninstalling

Before uninstalling, you should switch the layout to another one (via Rainmeter Manager) to avoid a series of "Cannot load skin" prompts after it. Then, exit Rainmeter.

Start uninstalling

Manually

The installation package of Quanto Original will install the skin series files, layout files and required plugins for you. If you want to uninstall it, you need to delete the skin series files and layout files and don't have to delete the plugins, because other skin series may need them, and deleting them may cause other skins to not work properly.

The folders you need to delete are:

  • %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Fluent_Design

  • %APPDATA%\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts\QuantoFlx

  • %APPDATA%\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts\Quanto_0

  • %APPDATA%\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts\Quanto_1

  • %APPDATA%\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts\Quanto_2

  • %APPDATA%\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts\Quanto_3

  • %APPDATA%\Roaming\Rainmeter\Layouts\Quanto_4

After deleting the above folders, restart Rainmeter. If the uninstall was done correctly, you should not see anything related to Fluent_Design or Quanto in the "Skins" or "Layouts" pages.
