| Sometimes Microsoft Windows won't let you delete the Virgo Server installation directory, typically because of long paths | |
| inside the <code class="literal">work</code> directory. | |
| </p><p> | |
| You can return the Virgo instance to a clean state by stopping Virgo if necessary and then running the startup script with the options | |
| <code class="literal">-clean -noStart</code>, after which you should be able to delete the installation directory. | |
