+====== Removing staff client preferences ======
+When you uninstall the Evergreen staff client code from your system, the staff client preferences and cached data are not removed from your system. This can be a problem if, for example, you have registered your workstation with the wrong library; or if you have chosen a display language (locale) that is broken and will not let you start up the client again.
+===== Windows =====
+On Windows, you can uninstall the Evergreen staff client code using the **Add/Remove Programs** menu.
+To remove the staff client preferences and cached data entirely on Windows, there are two directories that you must delete completely (where **<profile>** represents your user profile name):
+  - C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Application Data\OpenILS
+  - C:\Documents and Settings\<profile>\Local Settings\Application Data\OpenILS
+You might need to change the preferences in Windows Explorer to display hidden files (**Tools -> Folder Options... -> View**).
+===== Linux =====
+To remove the staff client preferences and cached data from your user account on Linux, there is one directory that you must delete completely:
+<code bash>
+rm -fr ~/.openils
