How do I do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Solidworks?

To reinstall the Solidworks application can be an upsetting thing to do. First of all you have to be prepared to loose all of your beautiful 3d CAD drawing - there is no room for second thoughts. The easiest thing to do is to boot your computer system in MS-DOS. To do this you have to press the F8 button at startup, and choose the MS-DOS option. Then write "format c:" and press "yes". Now you just have to reinstall all your applications including MS-DOS, Windows etc.
