Autodesk Remover (Interactive, Windows · PowerShell 5.1 Compatible)

An interactive PowerShell tool to remove Autodesk software from Windows.
It enumerates installed Autodesk apps, lets you select single, multiple, or all (e.g., 1,2,5 or A), optionally stops Autodesk services/processes, launches each vendor’s uninstaller, and can perform leftover cleanup (folders + registry). A transcript log is saved to Documents.

Safety first

• This can remove Autodesk apps system-wide. Back up templates, families, palettes, add-ins, and license info.
• Cleanup is optional and best-effort. Reboot after completion.

What’s inside

• Autodesk_Remover_Standalone.ps1 — the standalone, PowerShell 5.1–compatible script (no ternary/safe-nav operators; works on stock Win10/11).
• (Optional) You can add your own wrapper .cmd if you prefer launching from Command Prompt; the .ps1 is all you need.

Features

• Interactive picker: choose indices like 1,2,5 or A for all; Q to quit.
• Vendor uninstallers: uses QuietUninstallString when available; adds silent flags conservatively.
• Optional pre-uninstall handling:
  • Stop Autodesk services (Licensing, Desktop App, Genuine) with timeout.
  • Process handling: None / Auto (graceful→kill) / Force.
• Optional cleanup: removes common Autodesk directories and registry keys.
• Transcript logging: writes a timestamped log to Documents.
