## Full Clean Install with Data Purge
In some rare cases, you may be asked by OPSCOM support to do a **full clean install** that requires removing not only the OPSCOM app, but all it's associated files as well.
To do so, you will need to first uninstall the software as described in **steps 1 to 7 above**.
Warning
**It bears repeating** that if you are uninstalling the software to then reinstall it, do not uninstall the software if ViolationTransfer and/or VehicleTransfer tables contain data (view under Replication Status). These tables must be replicated to the server first to avoid data integrity issues.
There are **two methods** to remove these files for the android handheld device. It can be done directly from the handheld unit or by connecting the device to your PC.

4. A pop up window will appear giving you three options. **Tap Delete** to remove the folder.
5. A confirmation screen will appear. Tap on **OK** to confirm. This will remove the **OPSCOM folder and all it's contents**.
### Delete File using PC Connected via USB Cable

**Right mouse** click to bring up the drop down menu.
