Uninstalling or repairing SketchUp

Windows XP: Click the Start menu > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > SketchUp #.

Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10: Click the Start (Windows logo) menu > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > SketchUp #.

To uninstall SketchUp, select Remove (Uninstall on Vista or Windows 7). When asked if you'd like to remove SketchUp, click Yes.

If you are having problems with SketchUp, you can try the Change option, which begins the process of reinstalling the program features that were installed during the last installation. This can fix any application files that were corrupted (this doesn't affect or fix your SketchUp drawing files, the SKP files). If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling SketchUp.

1. Quit SketchUp. (If you have more than one instance of SketchUp open, make sure you quit all instances of SketchUp.)
