✅ Step 1 – Uninstall AutoCAD Completely

Before reinstalling AutoCAD, remove the existing installation completely.

Press Windows + R

Again press Windows + R
Type temp and delete all files.
Again press Windows + R
Type prefetch and remove the files Windows allows.

✔ Note: Skip any files that Windows doesn't allow you to delete.

📁 Step 3 – Delete Remaining Autodesk Files

Even after uninstalling AutoCAD, some folders remain on your computer. Delete them manually.
