If you need to remove an Optipe add-in from Excel or prepare your system to upgrade to a PRO version, you can do it in two simple ways:

Method 1: Automatic Uninstallation (Recommended)

This is the fastest and safest way. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the local folder where your Optipe software is saved.
  2. Find and run the file named "Remove Optipe".
  3. The wizard will automatically and cleanly remove the add-in from your Excel ribbon.
Run Remove Optipe

🛠️ Method 2: Manual Uninstallation in Excel

If you prefer to remove the application directly through the Microsoft Excel interface, follow this step-by-step procedure:

Step 2.1: Deactivate the Add-In

  1. Go to the File menu and select Options.
  2. In the Excel Options window, click on the Add-ins category (left sidebar menu).
  3. At the bottom, in the Manage section, make sure to select "Excel Add-ins" and click the Go... button.

⚠️ Step 2.3: Delete the physical application file

To permanently delete the add-in file and clear the registry entry:

  1. Repeat the steps from point 2.1 and open the window again using the Go... button.
  2. Click the Browse... button to open the root folder of your system add-ins.
  3. Find the corresponding Optipe application, select it, and delete it (by pressing Delete).

🛑 IMPORTANT: Take extreme care not to delete any other system file in this folder.
