AMD Catalyst Uninstall Utility
Yes, it's real: LINK REMOVED UNTIL FIXED
Don't bother if you are using Windows 8. Not recommended right due to issues. Last edited by erocker; Jan 21, 2013 at 01:04 AM. |

Like you though, I've never had issues (to my knowledge!) and i usually just install over old drivers. Maybe I'll use this with the next Catalyst release... |

Just used this, does not uninstall the CAP profiles, in case anybody is like me and re-installs those with drivers too.

Nice. I too haven't had any problems in the past but this little program can't hurt either. I will try it out this weekend.

Please clarify, are you saying it didn't even remove the CAP profile from the C: drive? If so, that would really suck. Driver Sweeper should if it's installed on the C: drive because the CAP profiles go in an AMD shell folder just like the drivers, and DS looks for anything in that folder. I have to say, I remain skeptical about this tool. Last time I recall using ATI's uninstall utility, it never worked worth a damn. I believe it was made by Ray Adams, the same guy that made ATI Tray Tools. I worry things are going to get even worse after all the graphics engineering layoffs and the big lawsuit AMD is embroiled in currently. Last edited by Frag Maniac; Jan 18, 2013 at 11:24 PM. |

This does a proper job of cleaning out BETAs?
Although I don't think there is any difference between the file locations of BETAs and WHQLs. |

Yep, gotta get those registry keys manually, making this tool a bit useless for me. TOo bad.

Interesting. Though like others said I have never had an issue with a regular uninstall. Or an upgrade right on top, for that matter. I guess more useful as a troubleshooting tool or if you are moving to an Nvidia card or something.

So, no, not just for swapping to Nvidia.. but when swapping cards in general. Also, swapping BIOS is the same as swapping cards, in many instances(different device IDs). Of course, this tool doesn't remove that data, so...yeah..it's usefulness is really questionable to me. It only takes me about 30 seconds to edit registry and delete the few folders required anyway. This tool will get rid of other stuff as well within the OS folders...but those files have never proven to be an issue for me personally...they must have been an issue for someone else, though.
