For me, it helped to delete everything and flash the board with the standard arduino firmware from the arduino ide before installing and starting mobiflight again.

thanks for the answer but that doesnt really answer my question. is there a uninstall file somewhere or do i manually delete everything? I already tried manually deleting the files and reinstalling them but it seems like it was still like the old one i had...

Hi.
What do you wan´t to delete ??

Mobiflight itself is a self extracting folder. It´s not realy installed. It´s just a unzip folder i think.
If you want to delete it just mark the folder and pres DEL.

But youre Arduino is different....
As "Aug" said.... You have to overwrite the Arduino with a non Mobiflight sketch/firmware like the arduino IDE
Else youre settings on the board are still there and would be shown with the new Mobiflight version like before.

Good Luck !

I'm running Win 10. I had to delete my mobiflight folder in which I opened the installer, also the mobiflight folder in ProgramFiles(386), and also also, after setting File Explorer to show hidden stuff, delete the mobiflight folder in C:\Users\my name\AppData\Local

I will recommend to install Mobiflight NOT in a obersved Windows folder. This can get into trouble sometimes.
If possible install Mobiflight always in a free folder or better on a different Partition or Harddisk.
( Same for the FSX or other AddOns.... the "ProgrammFiles" folder is problematic for all Programms who need Write permissions. )

Good Luck !
