# How Do I Uninstall NDI Software?

Follow the steps below based on your operating system:

### Windows

Click the Start menu and search for Control Panel.

You will see a list of installed programs. Go to Programs > Uninstall a program

Find NDI Tools (or the specific NDI software you want to remove). Look for entries like:

* *NDI Tools*
* *NDI Runtime*
* *Any additional NDI plug-ins or apps you installed*.

Right-click the program and select Uninstall. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the removal.

Optional cleanup - If needed, manually delete leftover files from:

C:\Program Files\NDI

### macOS

Open Finder.

Go to Applications folder.

Find NDI Tools (or the specific NDI app you installed). Look for:

* *NDI Virtual Input*
* *NDI Scan Converter*
* *NDI Studio Monitor*, etc.

Drag the application(s) to the Trash.

Optional cleanup - Check and delete supporting files from:

* \~/Library/Application Support/NDI
* \~/Library/Application Support/NDI
* \~/Library/Preferences (look for any NDI-related plist files)

Empty the Trash (if you want to fully clear space).

### Additional Questions

#### Do I need to uninstall the NDI Runtime separately?

Yes. On Windows, the NDI Runtime is a separate installer and will appear as its own entry under Programs and Features. Be sure to uninstall it if you no longer need it.

#### Will uninstalling NDI software affect other applications?

Uninstalling NDI software removes the tools and plug-ins, but if you have third-party apps that rely on NDI (such as OBS with an NDI plug-in), they may stop working correctly until you reinstall the NDI Runtime or plug-ins.
