Flattening and reinstalling isn’t really an option at this point-I'd be greatful if I can remove these traces of Paragon. Also, another user of Transparent RAID has been able to reproduce the same issue I am having in a VM whereas uninstalling a Paragon application did not bring Transparent RAID back to life. Is there a forceful uninstall utility by Paragon that can truly remove traces of their programs? I have tried to remove all of these traces manually as best I can but I am still having issues with Transparent RAID and honestly, I can only wonder what else may be left behind.

Hidden as disconnected devices in Device Manager I located the following in Non-Plug and Play Drivers, belonging to Paragon: Note that one (oem117.inf) was for the UIM device.įurther more, I located other DLL drivers signed by Paragon being loaded: Searching further, I located a total of 8 drivers in the driver store with Paragon as the provider. I looked over Device Manager and sure enough, there was the “Universal Image Mounter” class with the device “UIM Direct Device Image Plugin.” I had uninstalled the device although I still had issues with Transparent RAID. Also, after uninstalling products, it still showed some applications in the Start menu and in the Program Files folders.Īfter I had uninstalled the programs, I still had found a number of remnants including drivers-I found the computer still loading a number of UIM drivers that I later found to be Paragon’s Universal Image Mounter.

For example, running the uninstaller had required that I provide the original MSI file I had performed the installation with (same version).

I have attempted to uninstall Paragon products (Hard Disk Manager 12, Alignment Tool 4) to fix the issue with Transparent RAID (FlexRAID), but just trying to uninstall them via Programs and Features had been problematic. I am one of the users who have been experiencing the issue referred to above.
