Tip

Don't worry about deleting any information/data - all important information is stored on our servers, therefore you can't delete anything important (HansaWorld related).

3. Run the application again

After deleting required folder you should start the application as usually. It will automatically update all necessary data from the server.

Possible issues

The process is simple and most of it will happen automatically in the background, however - if you run into any kind of issues:

  • you can ask your colleague to give you complete HansaWorld folder on usb stick or other media;
  • you can download fresh zip archive here, unzip it and continue with running the application;
    • if you are not yet familiar with unarchiving (unzipping) files and folders, please find more info on topic here (for Mac) and here (for Windows) and here (for Windows 8).
  • in case if neither of those steps solve your issue, please contact our support: 67808240 or atbalsts@burti.lv
