Update GShade to the latest version

Update to uninstall? Odd, I know. There have been reports that the uninstaller on previous versions of GShade is bugged so make sure your GShade is up-to-date before proceeding.

0. Close FFXIV

1. Run the uninstaller

The uninstaller can be found in the GShade control panel (task bar) or with the uninstaller executable.

  • GShade Uninstaller.exe can be found in your GShade directory. This is different from your FFXIV game directory. It's usually found C:\Program Files\GShade
  • Restart your system when prompted.

2. Manual removal

Most files related to GShade should be removed from your system. Beyond this point are extra steps to removing any lingering files.

Here are locations where there may be left over GShade files. These will need to be removed manually.

  • C:\Program Files\GShade
  • C:\ProgramData\GShade
  • C:\Users\Public\GShade Backups
  • C:\Users\Public\GShade Custom Shaders
