FileZ will allow you to delete CryptoPad, without also deleting
CryptoPadDB (apparently).

I've got a copy, but haven't a clue how it works. I'll have to do some
homework. Thanks for the tip.

In my experience this type of error message is caused by a shortage of
memory. Try deleting/uninstalling something else, as large as possible,
unrelated to CryptoPad and preferably something you have a backup of.

I would not use FileZ or similar to delete Cyptopad because I'd not be
confident that I wasn't leaving traces that would interfere with a future
re-installation. Please note, this is *not* an aspersion against FileZ,
which is great.

Funny response. The fatal alert is clear about the problem. Just delete
CryptoPad w/o deleting the data.

I wonder why a "newbie" who doesn't know how to delete apps w/o deleting the
corresponding data would ever install a sophisticated program such as
CryptoPad. It sounds suicidal to me.

As they say it, caveat emptor.
