How do I remove Guidance Automation Packages Visual Studio 2010

Question

I have been working through the creation of my own guidance automation package in Visual Studio 2010

After a few days of trying to get things working, I started to make some progress but now I want to delete some of the extensions that I have created and installed into my Visual Studio.

 

The actual file location on disk of the extensions is: D:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0Exp\Extensions\David Cruwys

But I'm not sure how I get rid of them, deleting does not work, there is file locking.

Older documents (pre 2007) say that there is an unregister guidance package, but I don't know where that is.

How do I remove my old Guidance Packages

Answer 1

I had to close down all instances of Visual Studio which then released the file locks in the extensions directory.

Answer 2

you can go to tools -> extension manager -> select your package -> click Uninstall.
