How to Uninstall Deep Freeze

3. The file for Deep Freeze 6 is typically DF6Std.exe
Run the installation file. Double-click the installation file, click Uninstall in the window which opens, and follow any on-screen instructions. Eventually, your computer will reboot, and Deep Freeze will be completely removed.^{[1] X Research source}
