Deleting Temporary Directories and Files on Windows

Once you have removed the SIMULIA Execution Engine software, you need to remove the temporary directories and files created by the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

  1. Navigate to the directory that contains the top level of your SIMULIA Execution Engine installation directory.

    For example, if you installed SIMULIA Execution Engine in C:\SIMULIA\Execution Engine\2024, navigate to the C:\SIMULIA\Execution Engine directory.

  2. Delete the 2024 directory and all of its contents.
  3. Navigate to the following directory, where <user_name> is the name of the user who installed and uninstalled the SIMULIA Execution Engine: 

    C:\Users\<user_name>\

  4. Delete the following items:

    • the fiper directory

    • fiper.preferences file

  5. Navigate to the following directory, where <user_name> is the name of the user who installed and uninstalled the SIMULIA Execution Engine: 

    C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\

  6. Delete the fiper directory.
  7. Navigate to the location of the SIMULIA Execution Engine file manager directory. This directory location is specified by the property fiper.system.filemgr.rootFilePath in the acs.properties file.
  8. Delete the entire SIMULIA Execution Engine file manager directory.
  9. Navigate to the SIMULIA Execution Engine temporary directory. This directory location is specified by the property fiper.system.temp in the acs.properties file.
  10. Delete the following items:

    • the fiper*.mmjarcache directory (there may be more than one directory that matches this format)

    • the fiper directory (if present)

  11. If you ran a SIMULIA Execution Engine Station on the SIMULIA Execution Engine system, navigate to the location of the station directory.
  12. Delete the entire SIMULIA Execution Engine Station directory (typically the same as the computer name running that station).

    Be sure to uninstall any SIMULIA Execution Engine Stations on different systems that were using the deleted SIMULIA Execution Engine and that you do not plan to use with a different SIMULIA Execution Engine.

    The SIMULIA Execution Engine removal process is complete.
