<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "End User , Box Tools , Article , Product Utilization , Established , Instruction"}} />

Here are instructions on how to uninstall Box Tools for both Windows and Mac:

## Mac:

1. Download the Box Tools installer.
2. Open the installer and click **Uninstall**.

OR

1. Go to /Users/\<username>/Library/Application Support/Box
2. Delete the Box Tools Folder
3. Empty your Trash Bin

## Windows:

1. Open **Control Panel** > **Programs and Features**
2. Select **Box Tools** and click **Uninstall**.

**Per-User Uninstallation Script (System Administrator Focus):**

System administrators must remove per-user installations to move forward with machine-based deployments. Box provides a script to remove per-user Box Edit installations. The script verifies that the user has installed the per-user version of Box Edit and if so, proceeds with the uninstallation.

The script can be run on any Windows server (manually or automatically). This script was created for the Windows Server 2008 R2 environment as that server is typically used for wide-scale deployments. However, this script also works for older environments.

Use the following procedure to uninstall per-user Box Edit installations.

1. Open the Group Policy Management Console.
2. Expand Forest, Domains, and the domain. Right-click **Group Policy Objects**, and then click **New**.
3. In the New GPO dialog, in the *Script Name* field, type **Box Edit per-user removal script**. Click **OK**.
4. Right-click **Box Edit per-user removal script** under Group Policy Objects, and then click **Edit**.
5. In the Group Policy Management Editor window, expand User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings, and click **Scripts** (Logon/Logoff).
6. In the right pane, right-click **Logon**, and then click **Properties**.
7. In the Logon Properties window, click **Show Files...**
8. Download the removal script from [https://cloud.app.box.com/v/BoxEditCleaner](https://cloud.app.box.com/v/BoxEditCleaner) (click **download** in the upper-right corner), and save it to the folder that Show Files... opened. The script requires user credentials. If administrators want to uninstall the per-user Box Edit installation through Group Policy, they must assign it under User Configuration -- if they do it under Computer Configuration the script runs as a system.
9. Close Windows Explorer, and return to the Logon Properties window. Click **Add...**
10. In the Add a Script dialog, in Script Name, click **Browse...,** and select the script you saved in the previous step. Click **OK**.
11. In the Logon Properties window, click **Apply**, and then **OK**. Close the Group Policy Management Editor window.
12. In the Group Policy Management Console, link the GPO to the domain or any organizational unit.
