This page provides details on the V-Ray for SketchUp uninstall process.


## **Overview**

---

The V-Ray installer automatically uninstalls any previous versions of V-Ray. Uninstalling V-Ray for SketchUp does not uninstall the Chaos Cloud Client, Chaos Cosmos Browser, Chaos License Server, Chaos Unified Login, and V-Ray Swarm. These can be uninstalled separately if needed.
