Re: "C:\output" folder deletion

I did not download anything from the https://www.pdftojpgconverter.com/ web site.
I used the fhugdownloads:contents:pdf2jpg#download|> Download.

That converted PDF to JPG without any demand for money or UNREGISTERED.

Simply use Windows File Explorer to Delete the C:\output folder.
That won't be possible if you still have a converted JPG file open.

You must also uninstall the program via Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features
Select the PDF To JPG Converter 2.0 app and Uninstall.

If that does not exist maybe you did not install PDF To JPG Converter but something else?

Screenshots of PDF files may not achieve a suitably high resolution in the JPG files and depends on the monitor resolution.

There are indeed two links on that page. The second wanted to download an exe to which l got a message 'could not download safely'. The first seemed okay.

The first link simply connects to the product website and does not download anything unless you choose something on that website.

The second link is the installation .exe file, and as is often the case with small unfamiliar files, Windows or your malware package decides to play safe and warn that it may be unsafe.
Often all that is necessary is to right-click and open its Properties and tick Unblock.

Paula, what App did you need to uninstall using the Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & Features process I suggested?
That will confirm what you installed.

Also, can you 'see' the C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie hidden folder? ( NOT C:\Program Files )
If not then I suggest you reveal hidden folders as advised in glossary:family_historian_program_data_folder|> Family Historian Program Data Folder under Windows 8, 8.1, 10 near the bottom.
