Hi. We're a software company. One of our products has a script
to undo or remove a previously installed product. We'd like to
say something to the effect:
"To uninstall this product, do XYZ..."
We're not sure about the term "uninstall". Other candidate terms are:
de-install
deinstall
un-install
Has anyone faced this particular issue before and decided on
an appropriate term? Or would any grammatical guru care to
give guidance?
Thanks.
John
