Avoiding "Uninstallation"?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Janice Gelb wondered: <<Has anyone successfully come up with 
alternatives to the dreaded but accepted "uninstall" and 
"uninstallation"?>>

Never felt the need to, but if they bother you, use a phrase instead of 
striving for the perfect single-word solution: "To remove this software 
from your computer, ..." There may arguably be a technical difference 
between removal and uninstallation, but it should be irrelevant to the 
reader: if you're telling them how to remove the software you must tell 
them how to remove _everything_, and that's synonymous with 
"uninstall".
