Delete Skin

[2meme2]

Hello,

How should I delete avast skins, which I no longer using?
thanks...

They are in the C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\Skin folder and have an .asws file type, the self-defence module would have to be disabled to allow for deletion.

You need to exercise care in what you delete and you can't delete the default skins (3 of them) or avast would just replace them.

Personally the space they take up on your hard disk is very small so I feel you won't gain much by doing this.

Delete the corresponding files of the skin folder.
But don't worry that much, avast 5 will be released soon and won't be skinable anymore. All skins will be dropped.

Oops, David was faster.

Hello,
Finally I'm able to delete unwanted skins, by disabling "self protection" and then log in as a admin.
Thanks.
