Notes:

  • If you have multiple AutoCAD 2013-based products installed, these modules may be in use by more than just AutoCAD 2013. Do not uninstall them if they could be in use elsewhere.
  • Although this script has been tested on multiple operating systems and environments without issue, it is provided "as-is" and with no implied warranty or guarantee. Please read the disclaimer at the top of the script and use at your own discretion.
  • This tool can uninstall the English language of the listed 2013 products but it cannot uninstall all languages of AutoCAD 2013.
  • We strongly recommend backing up any custom files before proceeding.
  • Disable any Anti-virus that may be running on your machine before running the script.
  • Ensure you are a Administrator on your machine before running this script.
  • After the script is finished, it is a good idea to reboot your system to help ensure complete cleanup.
