Removal

To remove the application, delete the Relations directory created when you installed the program. This will remove the executable and all files needed to run the application.

Note: The application will create a workspace directory in the home directory in your file system. This workspace directory contains the sub-directories data and index. The first is used by the embedded databases for storing the information you create. The second contains the indexing data needed by the application full text search index.

If you delete the data directory, you will loose all information you created with Relations. However, you can backup your embedded database or export the data if you want to use this data with another Relations installation.

If you delete the index directory, you'll have to reindex the database if you decide to work further with the dataset.
