How to Uninstall software


Uninstalling PET packages
A package can be uninstalled via the PPM Puppy Package Manager, (this doubles up as a way to see what is installed):

Some PETs may not uninstall cleanly. If unsure make a backup of your SaveFile Pup Save File before and after installing packages (frugal).


An alternative is to use UnPet, which is quicker than waiting for the PPM to load up.

Uninstalling SFS packages
SFS packages are unloaded via the BootManager or SFSLoad. As SFS files are read-only and less likely to uninstall uncleanly.

Removing Packages built-in to Base SFS
To remove package that are built-in to the BaseSFS use:
PuppyMenu > Setup > remove builtin packages
