Removing Staff Client Preferences

Windows

When you uninstall the Evergreen staff client code from your system, the staff client preferences and cached data are not removed from your system. This can be a problem if, for example, you have registered your workstation with the wrong library; or if you have chosen a display language (locale) that is broken and will not let you start up the client again

On Windows, you can uninstall the Evergreen staff client code using the Add/Remove Programs menu.

To remove the staff client preferences and cached data entirely on Windows, there are two directories that you must delete completely (where <profile> represents your user profile name):

  • C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Application Data\OpenILS
  • C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenILS

You might need to change the preferences in Windows Explorer to display hidden files (Tools → Folder Options… → View).

Linux

To remove the staff client preferences and cached data from your user account on Linux, there is one directory that you must delete completely:

rm -fr ~/.openils
