File Cleanup

After upgrading or uninstalling IBM Aspera Connect Browser Plug-in, old Connect files can be safely removed from your system.

Log Files

Connect 2.8+ Log Folders (remove only after uninstalling Connect 2.8!)

Operating System	Log File Location
Windows XP and 2003	C:\Documents and Settings\`username`\Local Settings\Application Data\Aspera\Aspera Connect\var\log\
Windows Vista, 2008 and 7	C:\Users\`username`\AppData\Local\Aspera\Aspera Connect\var\log\

http.uri and process.pid Files

You may remove the http.uri and process.pid files in the following folder:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Aspera\Aspera Connect\var\run\

Database File

If you previously installed Connect for all users (that is, system-wide), then when uninstalling, you will only be able to remove the Connect database for the current user. Thus, to remove this database file (connectdb.data), you need to locate the following directory for each additional user account:

C:\Users\username\.aspera\connect\

You may alternatively delete the entire .aspera directory after uninstalling Connect, if desired.
